Cell permeable DNA dye
Hoechst 33342 is fluorescent probe useful for detecting DNA by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Hoechst 33342 may be used on live or fixed cells and is also applicable for cell cycle analysis and monitoring DNA condensation by flow cytometry. An additional ethyl group renders Hoechst 33342 more lipophilic, and thus more readily cell permeable than Hoechst 33258 . Exclusion of Hoechst 33342 dye is a characteristic common to stem cells, as well as chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells. Wavelength Maxima: Excitation 350nm, Emission 461nm
Shipping: Available products typically ship within 24/48h, via priority shipping.
