| Trade name: | 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenyl-indol dihydrochloride; DAPI, Dihydrochloride |
DAPI solid powder from emp Biotech is a high-purity reagent for fixed-cell, fluorescent staining of DNA content and cell nuclei, formulated specifically for cellular imaging techniques.
A classic nuclear counterstain used in immunofluorescence microscopy, DAPI (diamidino-2-phenylindole) is an important component of high-content screening methods which require cell-based quantization of DNA content.
DAPI exhibits blue fluorescence that strongly increases after it selectively binds to the minor groove of double stranded DNA. The fluorescence of bound DAPI is approximately 20-fold greater than in its unbound state. This selectivity, combined with DAPI#s high cell permeability, allows effective staining of nuclei and low fluorescence background from the cytoplasm.
DAPI is compatible with antibodies and other probes which have been labeled with fluorescein and rhodamine, and can be used in tandem as a counterstain with such probes. The used of DAPI is limited to fixed cells. For live cell imaging, we recommend Hoechst 33342.
