Visit the website

What is it?

CyTRAK Orange™ is a novel orange fluorescent dye (related to DRAQ5™) that stains both nucleus and cytoplasm. It is water soluble and membrane permeant and can be used in LIVE cells in combination with other common fluors, especially GFP fusions, FITC-labelled antibodies and far-red dyes.

What are the key benefits?

CyTRAK Orange™ can be used as a LIVE cell nuclear stain or as a cell location dye to define the perimeter of the cell in a variety of cell-based assays. It is highly compatible with existing protocols and can be used across a wide range of instrumentation platforms.

Key benefits include:-

  • Rapid staining of dsDNA/nuclei of LIVE or fixed cells
  • Easy to use - no lyse, no wash protocols
  • Ideal for use with GFP & FITC labels - fluoresces at Emλmax 615 nm
  • An excellent gating tool for nucleated cells in flow cytometric analysis
  • Ideal for use as a cell location dye in HTS and HCS assays
  • Photochemically and biologically very stable
