Hoechst stains are a family of blue fluorescent dyes that bind to the minor groove of the DNA double helix and are able to recognize a run of four A-T base pairs.

Hoechst stains are excited by ultraviolet light at 350 nm, and emit blue fluorescent light at 460 nm.

This stain contains a mixture of Hoechst dyes. The recipe of the stain is proprietary.

Storage buffer: PBS, pH 7.2, 0.1% sodium azide

Storage condition: –20°C

For Research Use Only. Not for use in clinical diagnostics.

  • Deparaffinize FFPE sections with Xylene.
  • Rehydrate sections with decreasing concentrations of ethyl alcohol (100% to 70%).
  • Wash slides 2 times with dH2O.
  • Dip slides into universal antigen retrieval buffer.
  • Microwave sections at boiling temperature for 10min.
  • Wash slides 2 times with dH2O.
  • Dip slides into FFPE autofluorescence quenching buffer for 20min.
  • Wash slides with 70% ethyl alcohol
  • Wash slides with 1xPBS
  • Drain Wash solution against a towel and put slides into the wet chamber.
  • Dilute Hoechst Blue Stain at 1:100 in Block solution and add to each slide (300-500 µl is sufficient to cover the section on each slide).
  • Incubate the slides in the wet chamber at room temperature for 1hr.
  • Take slides out of the wet chamber, drain off Hoechst Blue Stain, and wash three times with the Wash solution.
  • Add 20 ul of Mowiol solution to the section on each slide. Place a cover glass onto the section and apply a small pressure to remove any trapped air bubble. Let Mowiol solution dry at room temperature for 1hr. Store glass slides at 4oC for less than 1 month.

"I am really impressed with your approach. We tried multiple times previously to create monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to claudin-2 and MLCK1. We have had limited success generating polyclonals and no success generating monoclonals. You have generated outstanding monoclonals to both. I look forward to continuing to work with you."

"The polyclonal antibody you generated for KIAA0408 is stunning! KIAA0408 is a novel cilium molecule that has never been studied. So, clearly there will be a lot of demand for it as we have discovered a very interesting finding and the story will be published in a high impact journal. I am strongly inclined to generate monoclonal antibody for this protein too and we should think about patenting it."

"Your ARL13B antibody works beautifully!!! We’re so happy to have a cilia-specific antibody made in rat! I can send you high resolution images to be posted on your website."

"The assay is a homophilic interaction mediated cell adhesion on purified protein (in this case, immobilized purified Pcdhga9 to Pcdhga9 expressed on cell surface). Compared to control, cell adhesion is reduced in the presence of Pcdhga9 monoclonal antibody supernatants!"

I have tested the rat polyclonal IgGs to ABCD1 by immunoflourescence on cells overexpressing ABCD1. The antibodies successfully detected the protein (either untagged or tagged with GFP) at a 1:500 dilution and there was little background. The antibodies did not detect ABCD2. So this is very good news, and you may now go ahead and clone out a monoclonal!
