Comments:                 We used CyTRAK Orange to label nuclei of acute brain slices and performed 2-Photon live-imaging. The labeling is really easy and fast to process. This dye is very efficient to label nuclei in thick tissue (300 µm) and did not show any toxic effect.

BioStatus Response:  Dear Christelle, thank you for this review of CyTRAK Orange! We believe this is the first example of its use in 2-photon imaging and it was impressive to see detection through the full depth of 300 micron brain slices.

Manufacturer's response: Thanks Héctor, for this entertaining review of DRAQ5! You make a good point too: it is possible to view DRAQ5-positive cells with transmission light microscopy - the nuclei are indeed deep blue (as well as far-red fluorescent)! It’s a convenient way to test for functionality and sample quality (for example prior to FACS) and might even allow for a new breed of assays.
