"Solid results, quite pleased with this product."

PRODUCT:                 DRAQ5

Application Area:       Analyze pore formation in host cells


Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:    ⭐⭐⭐
Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐
 Average rating:          4.7

Comments: After assay optimization, this product worked quite well for imaging host cells by microscopy during bacterial infection. The product has a long shelf life, provided consistent results, and was not that expensive. The only reason I gave 4 starts for the After Sales Care is because I had no direct interaction with them, but I think our lab tech found the initial instructions with the package confusing. Overall, it is a great product for a specific assay.

"Superior to propidium iodide."

PRODUCT:                 DRAQ7

Application Area:       cell viability, FACS


Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:    ⭐⭐⭐
Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐
 Average rating:          5.0

Comments: DRAQ7, a cell impermeant DNA stain, is great to assess cell viability using FACS: low autofluorescence in the infrared, ease to combine it with other fluorophores in the visible range. Much better than propidium iodide on the last account.
