Average rating:           4.3

Comments: The Draq 5 product is of excellent quality and is reliable and reproducible under experimental conditions. In addition it is very easy to use. We have used the product for the majority of our imaging flow cytometry applications and have published extensively on this DNA repair/DNA damage and human genotoxicity. We will continue to use the Draq 5 formulation for our work although the price is rather too high

"Very bright photostable far red dye"

PRODUCT:                 DRAQ7

Application Area:       Flow cytometry

Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Average rating:           5.0

Comments: The dye was easily loaded into cells at 37C giving a high level of fluorescence at 760 nm making it easy to gate out dead cells on flow cytometric dot-plots. There was no apparent photo-bleaching of this far red dye either, quite impressive.

Average rating:           5.0

Comments: I used DRAQ5 for internal normalisation of in-cell western (ICW) experiments to detect cytosine modifications in human cardiac mesenchymal cells. It arrived few days after my order. It is really easy and fast to use: it can be added at the end of the standard ICW procedure  before plate reading. Really accurate and reproducible.

"Nice reagent for cell cycle analysis"

PRODUCT:                  DRAQ5

Application Area:        Analysis of cell cycle status in colorectal cancer cells

Ease of Use:              ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After Sales Service:    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Value for Money:        ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Average rating:           5.0

Comments: DRAQ5 is a useful reagent for analysing the cell cycle status of live/dead cells by flow cytometry. For our purposes, cells were first killed by fixation in 70% Ethanol  (because we were co-staining for other antigens) and eventually resuspended in buffer containing 2ul/ml DRAQ5 allowing 10 mins prior to flow cytometric analysis. Lovely DNA profiles were obtained with no compensation issues with the other fluorochrome (PE) used in the study. Never attempted on live cells but we understand from other colleagues in the department that this is possible. Care must be taken when handling as this is a toxic substance.
