Manufacturer's response: The initial review posting elicited an immediate technical support response. After successful testing of both fresh DRAQ5 and DRAQfx (for comparison) in the customer’s lab the issue was isolated to the presence of 0.3% Triton X-100 during the final counterstaining step. This was remedied by an intermediate wash with PBS. This learning will be reflected in our products’ technical data sheets for fixed cell immunofluorescence protocols.
