Hoechst 33342

Synonyms: Pibenzimol, bisBenzimide H 33342, HOE 33342, HO342

.Hoechst 33342 (Pibenzimol, bisBenzimide H 33342, HOE 33342, HO342) is a membrane-permeant fluorescent stain that can stain live cells. Hoechst 33342 binds to adenine-thymine-rich regions of DNA in the minor groove and greatly increases the fluorescence. It allows easy visualization of the nucleus in interphase cells and chromosomes in mitotic cells.

1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 10 mg of Hoechst in 5 mL DMSO
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at 4℃ or -20℃ away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of Hoechst working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain final concentration 10 μg/mL Hoechst working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Hoechst working solution according to the actual situation.
1.Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells（6-well plate）
a. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4℃ for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time. The cell density is 1×106/mL.
b. Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 3-10 minutes.
c. Centrifuge at 400 g at 4℃ for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
d. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
e. Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
a. Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
b. Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium.
c. Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells,and then incubate at room temperature for 3-10 minutes.
d. Wash twice with medium, 5 minutes each time.Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
