Dapi 4 6 diamidino 2 phenylindole

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) is a fluorescent dye commonly used in biological research. Its core function is to bind to adenine-thymine (A-T) rich regions of DNA, emitting a blue fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) or violet light. This property makes DAPI a useful tool for DNA staining and visualization in various applications, such as fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
