DAPI Staining Solution (1mg/mL)
Product overview
| Name | DAPI Staining Solution (1mg/mL) |
| Biological description | Overview DAPI is a blue fluorescent DNA stain which is cell permeant at high concentrations. This is a ready made 1mg/mL staining solution. It is recommended to dilute this solution 1:1000 with your desired buffer for a 1µg/mL working concentration. 0.1µg/mL-10µg/mL is the typical working concentration used in most applications. DAPI also available. |
| Description | Blue fluorescent DNA stain. Nuclear counterstain. 1mg/mL staining solution in water. Solid also available in 10mg and 50mg packs. |

Biological Data
| Application notes | Figure 1: Neurofilament L and DAPI co-staining in hippocampal cell culture. DAPI is a DNA binding dye commonly used to label cell nuclei in immunofluorescence experiments. DAPI from Hello Bio labels cell nuclei (blue) at 1µg/ml when co-stained with an anti-neurofilament L antibody (green). For protocol see #Protocol 1 in application notes below.  Figure 2: GFAP and DAPI co-staining in hippocampal cell culture.
