Biological Activity
Key information: Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 is a fluorogenic, green-emitting DNA probe. Suitable for live cell imaging.Used for: fixed and live-cell imaging.
Application: confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, super resolution microscopy (SRM).
Properties and Photophysical Data: preferentially stains and binds minor groove of AT-rich regions. When bound to A-T DNA, Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 exhibits a quantum yield (QY) of 0.126; when bound to G-C DNA Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 exhibits a quantum yield of 0.04. Fluorogenic, it fluoresces only once bound to DNA, enabling hassle-free no-wash experiments. Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 can be combined with fluorogenic red-emitting DNA probe Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 646 (Cat. No. 6804) for multiplexing experiments. Excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 531 nm and 549 nm, respectively; quantum yield = 0.126; extinction coefficient = 118,000 M-1cm-1.
To measure the absorbance spectrum of Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 we recommend the following solvent: TFE plus 0.1% TFA.

Application of Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 in U2OS cells. Fixed U2OS cells were stained with Hoechst Janelia Fluor® 526 (2 µM) for 1 hour and imaged without an intermediate washing step on a LSM980 confocal microscope (Zeiss) using the following configuration: excitation: 514 nm / emission: 526–615 nm.
