Application

Adapté aux applications suivantes :
  • Coloration de l′ADN dans des gels d′agarose
  • Analyse des modifications de l′ADN lors de l′apoptose
  • Détection des mycoplasmes
  • Photofootprinting de l′ADN
  • Coloration par immunofluorescence des cellules

Le DAPI a été utilisé :
  • pour la surveillance rapide de la contamination microbiologique
  • dans la technique de coloration des bandes de chromosomes
  • pour la détection des cellules apoptotiques
  • en microscopie à fluorescence, pour suivre le mouvement de la protéine DisA (DNA integrity scanning protein) sur l′ADN de Bacillus subtilis
  • pour colorer les grains de pollen matures (0,5 mg/ml)
Le DAPI est nettement plus sensible que le bromure d′éthidium pour marquer l′ADN dans les gels d′agarose.
Le DAPI est nettement plus sensible que le bromure d′éthidium pour marquer l′ADN dans les gels d′agarose. Il peut être utilisé dans le photofootprinting de l′ADN, pour détecter les sondes hybridées dans les applications sur membranes en permettant la visualisation spécifique des complexes double-brins, et pour évaluer les changements de l′ADN et de son contenu lors de l′apoptose par cytométrie en flux. La coloration par DAPI est également une méthode sensible et spécifique de détection des mycoplasmes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sonde fluorescente pour l′ADN qui se lie dans le petit sillon, capable de pénétrer dans les cellules. Se lie au petit sillon d′ADN double brin (préférentiellement à l′ADN riche en AT), formant un complexe stable dont l′intensité de fluorescence est environ 20 fois plus élevée que celle du DAPI non lié.

Disclaimer

Protéger de la lumière.

General description

Le DAPI (dichlorhydrate de 4′,6-Diamidino-2-phénylindole) est un colorant fluorescent capable de pénétrer dans les cellules et de se lier à l′ADN.
la chaleur ou la sonication peuvent être nécessaires. Les solutions stockées à l'abri de la lumière à température ambiante ou à 4 °C devraient être stables pendant 2 à 3 semaines.

  1. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. How should D9542, 4´,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI), be dissolved?

    This product is soluble in water at 20 mg/mL, but may require heat.  DAPI does not dissolve readily in PBS, 0.1 M phosphate, or 0.1 M Tris (pH 7).

  4. How should D9542, 4´,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI), be stored once in solution, and for how long would it be good?

    Solutions stored in the dark at room temperature have been stable for 2-3 weeks, but solutions exposed to light for the same time period have shown considerable degradation.  At 1 mg/mL, solutions are stable in the dark at 2-8 °C for several weeks.  For long-term storage, the solutions can be divided into aliquots and stored at -20 °C.

  5. Aside from the applications described on the product page, how is D9542, 4´,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI), used?

    DAPI is used as a nuclear counterstain in our FISH protocol at 2 μg/mL in antifade mounting media. DAPI can also be used as a vital dye to stain mature pollen grains (0.5 μg/mL). DAPI can bind to RNA, but its selectivity for DNA over RNA is high.  It appears that DAPI uses an intercalating binding mode with RNA that is AU selective (Biochem., 31, 3103 (1992)). Selectivity of DAPI for DNA over RNA is greater than that shown by ethidium bromide and propidium iodide (Nucleic Acid Research, 6, 3535 (1979))

  6. How do I find price and availability?

  7. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product. 

  8. What is the stability of  D9542, 4´,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride?

    Product D9542, 4´,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride has a stability of 3 years as supplied. The product in solution is also stable in the dark at 4°C and showed no signs of degradation after three weeks at room temperature in the dark.  Material exposed to light showed significant degradation. We have developed an HPLC method for our DAPI products that shows reassay results from July 2012 for lots that were originally released for sale in December 2008, for both D9542 (DAPI dihydrochloride) and D9564 (DAPI dilactate).
