Product Data Sheet

DAPI dilactate

Catalog No. A24764

main product photo
DAPI dilactate is a potent fluorescent dye primarily known for its strong binding affinity to DNA, specifically targeting the AT base pairs in the minor groove of double-stranded DNA. This binding significantly enhances fluorescence intensity, making it a valuable tool for applications in fluorescence microscopy to quantify DNA based on fluorescence signals. While DAPI is effective for staining both live and fixed cells, it does not penetrate intact cell membranes. Additionally, DAPI serves as an inhibitor of acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3), blocking its function, and is useful in research focused on chronic pain treatments (Ex/Em = 356/451 nm).
