General notes
CyTRAK Orange™ is a novel orange fluorescent dye [related to DRAQ5™ (ab108410)] that stains both nucleus and cytoplasm. It is water soluble and membrane permeant which can be used in live and fixed cells in combination with other common fluorophores, such as GFP-fusions, green-labelled antibodies (FITC or DyLight® 488) and far-red dyes. CyTRAK Orange™ preferentially stains the nucleus, but also defines the cytoplasmic area in both live and fixed preparations. CyTRAK Orange™ does the work of two fluorophores! Key features of CyTRAK Orange™ include:
- Rapid staining of dsDNA/nuclei of LIVE or fixed cells
- Differential intensity of DNA binding and Cytoplasmic labelling - One fluorophore doing the work of two
- Low photobleaching effect
- Ideal for use with GFP, FITC & DyLight® 488 and 649 labels
- No lyse / no wash protocols
- It is membrane-permeant
Excitation
- 457, 488 & 549 (Exmax 515nm)
- similar profile to Propidium Iodide
- co-excited with FITC/Cy2/eGFP and PE-Cy7
- NOT excited by UV or red lasers (e.g. 633 & 647 nm)
Emission (instrument dependent):
- Emmax 615 nm
- No significant spectral overlap with co-excited green fluors (eGFP, FITC, Cy2)
- Visualize GFP-tagged temporospatial changes in live cells in a single acquisition from a 488 nm excitation

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - CyTRAK Orange™ 50µl (5 mM) (ab109203)Live cells expressing eGFP/CyclinB1 were labelled with CyTRAK Orange™ (end concentration 20µM) for 20 minutes at 37 C, no wash. Image was captured using confocal microscopy at 488nm simultaneously: i) CyTRAK Orange™ channel - 598/40nm; ii) eGFP/CyclinB1 channel - 522/35nm
