Application

bisBenzimide H 33342 trihydrochloride can be used to study biochemicals and reagents, fluorescent probes, labels, particles and stains, luminescent compounds and detection and wavelength index. bisBenzimide H 33342 trihydrochloride, Hoechst 33342, has been used in a study to investigate the effects of inorganic and organic arsenic compounds on human T-lymphoblastoid leukemia cells. Hoechst 33342 has also been used in a study to examine the effects of 9 calcium antagonists on ABCG2/BCRP-mediated resistance and transport in HeLa and SN-38-resistant HeLa (HeLa/SN100) cells, overexpressing ABCG2/BCRP.
Useful for staining DNA, chromosomes and nuclei. May be used for fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
Excitation max. = 346 nm
Emission max. = 460 nm

Biochem/physiol Actions
