Datasheet
Hoechst 33342/PI Double Staining Kit contains the Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide stains for use in double fluorescence staining. Hoechst 33342 (Bisbenzimide) is a cell-permeable blue fluorescent stain that binds to adenine-thymine-rich regions of DNA, increasing its density. Propidium iodide (PI) is a red fluorescent stain that binds to DNA by intercalating between the bases. PI is unable to enter living cells, and so it stains cells that have undergone apoptosis, necrosis or fixation.

Kit components:
  • Hoechst 33342 Chromogen (1 mg/ml): 100 µl
  • Propidium Iodide Chromogen (1 mg/ml): 100 µl
  • Dilution Buffer: 2 × 20 ml


Target Hoechst 33342 / Propidium Iodide (PI)
Tested Applications IF/ICC
Recommended dilutions IF/ICC: 5 µg/ml (total dye concentration, 1:1 ratio of Hoechst 33342/PI). Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Storage Store the Hoechst 33342 Chromogen and Propidium Iodide Chromogen at -20 °C, and the dilution buffer at 4 °C. Avoid exposure to light.
Availability Shipped within 7-12 working days.
Note This product is for research use only.
Directions for use For double or triple fluorescence staining in immunofluorescence tests, Hoechst 33342/PI staining is the last step after incubating the antibodies.

For cultured cells, add 5 µl of Hoechst 33342 Chromogen and 5 µl of Propidium Iodide Chromogen to 2 ml Dilution Buffer in the same tube. Mix thoroughly (total dye concentration is 5 μg/ml). Incubate for approximately 5 minutes in the dark at 30 °C, then wash with PBS/TBS 3 times, 3 minutes each time.
