Abcam, ab285390, DAPI

Size: 5mg / 25mg
DAPI (ab285390) is a fluorescent, cell-permeable DNA-binding dye and preferentially binds to DNA rich in adenine and thymine. Suitable to use for fluorescence microscopy. DAPI's absorption maximum when bound to double-stranded DNA is at 358 nm and its emission maximum is at 461 nm. MW 350.2, Purity >98%. - Proven performance: cited in over 55 publications - Convenient for multiplexing assays as little overlap between green- and red- fluorescence molecules - Available in different sizes to fit your experimental needs
