DRAQ7 & Graphene Biomaterial

DRAQ7 has been applied as a monitor of cell health on a novel graphene biomaterial - a UK technology duo! 

See:
Wang, Z., Tonderys, D., Leggett, S. E., Williams, E. K., Kiani, M. T., Steinberg, R. S., ... & Hurt, R. H. (2016). Wrinkled, wavelength-tunable graphene-based surface topographies for directing cell alignment and morphology. Carbon 97: 14-24.

doi:10.1016/j.carbon.2015.03.040

The simplicity, reliability and performance of DRAQ7 continue to expand its cross-platform applicability.

Live gating - compatible with new violet dyes

CyTRAK Orange has been applied for "live gating" in flow cytometric analysis of complex samples

See: 
Mathis et al. doi:10.1038/leu.2013.178 

Geis et al. DOI: 10.1111/boc.201400079 

.. for examples of multi-colour protocols using CYTRAK Orange to positively select intact cells from debris or necrotic/apoptotic cells.

This adds to the well-tested option of the related far-red DRAQ5 gating methodology.
