Description of DRAQ5

DRAQ5 is a novel cell permeant and far red-fluorescing DNA probe. DRAQ5 excites at a wavelength of 647 nm, close to the Ex, and produces a fluorescence spectrum extending from 665 nm out to beyond 780 nm wavelengths. DRAQ5 fluorescence reflects cellular DNA content. DRAQ5 can be used in combination with FITC and RPE-labelled antibodies, without the need for fluorescence compensation.

Mammalian cell in full culture medium staining methods[2]:
(1) Cell planking: Digestive separation of cells and resuspend in complete medium to a concentration of 2-4 × 105 cells/ml.
Note: Attached cell cultures (e.g., coverslip cultures or chambered wells) can be stained in a 1-2-ml staining volume overlayering a 4-cm2 surface area.
(2) Prepare staining solution: Add 4 µl of 5 mM DRAQ5 acidified stock per ml culture medium (20 µM final).
Note: Nuclear discrimination is achievable at 2.5 to 5 µM, and it is unlikely that concentrations >30 µM would be required.
(3) Fluorescence staining: Incubate 5 to 15 min at 37°C.
Note: Overstaining cannot occur.
(4)Wash (optional): Centrifuge cells 3 to 5 min at 800 × g, 37°C. Discard supernatant and resuspend in complete medium with 10 mM HEPES at 4 × 105 cells/ml.
(5) For flow cytometry: Use conventional pulse analysis for doublet discrimination and analyze parameters using appropriate software.
(6) For laser scanning microscopy: Collect fluorescence images using a 695 nm long-pass filter.
Fixed cells staining methods[2]:
(1) Fixed cells:Use 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 30 min with resuspension in an aqueous buffer (e.g., PBS).
(2) Fluorescence staining: similar concentrations of dye and similar incubation conditions can be used as for live cells.

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
