Qnuclear™ Deep Red Stain - FAQs

I need to mount my Qdot secondary-labeled tissue samples in HistoMount mounting medium, but my Qdot 705 conjugate overlaps with your Qnuclear Deep Red nuclear label. What other nuclear label would you recommend, that is compatible with HistoMount mounting medium?

We recommend using SYTOX Green stain, which you can image using a FITC filter and we have shown to be compatible with HistoMount mounting medium. Some have used DAPI, but there have been some issues with slight quenching and spectral shifting of DAPI into green or even red wavelengths.
