Br-DAPI

Guide (The following is our recommended protocol. This protocol is only a guide and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1. Preparation of DAPI working solution
1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 1 mg DAPI in 1 mL ddH₂O to obtain 1 mg/mL of stock solution.
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20°C or -80°C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of DAPI working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 1-10 ug/mL of working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of DAPI working solution according to the actual situation.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells (6-well plate)
a. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.The cell density is 1×10⁶/mL.
b. Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 3-10 minutes.
c. Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
d. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
e. Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
a. Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
b. Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium.
c. Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells,and then incubate at room temperature for 3-10 minutes.
d. Wash twice with medium, 5 minutes each time.Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

Precautions 1. Please adjust the concentration of DAPI working solution according to the actual situation.
2. This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
3. For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves to operate.
