Description

SiR-Hoechst is a far-red fluorescent DNA probe being used widely for time-lapse imaging of living cells. SiR-Hoechst is minimally toxic at concentrations as high as 10-25 µM. SiR-Hoechst induces DNA damage responses and G2 arrest at concentrations well below 1 µM[1][2].

In Vitro

SiR-Hoechst has some clear advantages: it is selective for DNA; its fluorescence is enhanced upon DNA binding; it is excited by far-red light, avoiding damage caused by the UV light required for traditional Hoechst dyes; and it is compatible with live-cell super-resolution microscopy[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
