Product Information

Product Usage Information

This product is soluble up to 50 mg/ml in deionized water or dimethylformamide yielding a clear yellow solution. Heating and/or sonication may be required. For standard fluorescence based assays, Hoechst 33342 stock solutions should be diluted in phosphate-buffered saline or mounting medium to a final working concentration of 1 μg/ml.

Storage

The lyophilized powder is stable for 1 year if kept below 0°C with desiccant. Aqueous solutions are stable for at least 1 month if kept in the dark between 2-8°C.

Product Description

Hoechst 33342 (bisBenzimide H33342 trihydrochloride) is supplied as a lyophilized powder in 25 mg units. It can be used to examine cellular DNA in most fluorescent applications.
Molecular Formula C27H28N6O 3(HCl) 3(H2O)

Background

Hoechst 33342 is a specific fluorescent DNA stain that binds within the minor groove of double-stranded AT-rich regions. This stain can be used on both live and fixed cells (1).
