Description

Thermo Scientific™ Pierce Hoechst 33342 Fluorescent Stain is a high-quality solution of Hoechst dye for fixed- and live-cell fluorescent staining of DNA and nuclei in cellular imaging techniques.

Hoechst 33342 (2'-[4-ethoxyphenyl]-5-[4-methyl-1-piperazinyl]-2,5'-bi-1H-benzimidazole trihydrochloride trihydrate) is a cell-permeable DNA stain that is excited by ultraviolet light and emits blue fluorescence at 460 to 490nm. Hoechst 33342 binds preferentially to adenine-thymine (A-T) regions of DNA. This stain binds into the minor groove of DNA and exhibits distinct fluorescence emission spectra that are dependent on dye:base pair ratios.
