Comments: DRAQ5 works well as a nuclear label and allows us to use a different spectral range for configuring our multi-label assays.  It appears (not 100% sure why) that DRAQ5 has less particulate and non-specific labelling in our microvascular endothelial cells than Hoechst.

Comments: The product Draq5 is a ready-to-use aqueous formulation really easy to use (simple incubation and washes) and it gives us a good reproducibility between experiment. 

It has a good stability after storage.

Draq5 is a stable fluorescent Live-Cell Permeant DNA Dye which allow us to normalize the fluorescence signal between wells in an in Cell Western Blotting (Odyssey). We followed protein expression (Fluorescence 1) in bone marrow derived macrophages after different cell culture conditions and Draq5 signals (Fluorescence 2) provided us a good linearity for normalization of protein signals well-to-well (ration Florescence1/Fluorescence2).
