DRAQ7™ permits a new kinetic understanding of SP analysis.
- Membrane-impermeant DRAQ7™ allows removal of interfering Hoechst signals coming from dead and damaged cells.
- DRAQ7™ is non-toxic, does not passively enter intact cells during the extended exposure times required and also allows sorting of the viable SP sub-populations.
- DRAQ7™ has no UV-excitation, avoiding PI's red emission overlap.
- Far-red DRAQ7™ permits multi-colour phenotypic SP analysis.
