Invitrogen™ NucRed™ Live 647 ReadyProbes™ Reagent

Description

• Formulated as room temperature-stable solution in dropper bottle
• Tip and drip two drops per mL to stain cells
• Exceptionally bright far-red fluorescence well separated from blue, green, and red fluorophores
• Rapid staining of live or fixed cells without wash steps
• Ready-to-use liquid formulation: no need to dilute, weigh, or pipet
• Can be used for counter-staining, DNA content measurements, cell cycle, cell replication studies, and cell counting
• Excitation /emission of 638/686nm make it optimal for use with blue (Hoechst, DAPI, CFP), green (Alexa Fluor 488, FITC, GFP), and red (Alexa Fluor 594, Texas Red, rhodamine) fluorophores in multicolor experiments
• May be added directly to cells in full media or buffer solutions
• No wash, cell lysis, or RNase steps are needed
• In most cases, 2 drops/mL and an incubation time of 15 to 30 minutes will produce bright nuclear staining; however, optimization may be needed for some cell types, conditions, and applications
• In such cases, simply add more or fewer drops until the optimal staining intensity is obtained
• In most cases, staining intensity increases with time if cells are not washed prior to imaging
• Detected through far-red filters
