Nagoya University scientists reveal unprecedentedly versatile new DNA staining probe

(Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM), Nagoya University) Kakshine is an entirely new DNA fluorescent imaging probe with a wide range of capabilities that make it ideal for a range of imaging applications, including cutting edge two-photon excitement imaging and super high-resolution STED imaging. Its ability to use low phototoxicity visible light makes it ideal for in vitro and in vivo applications, and it is expected to find use in a variety of medical and life science contexts.
