1.1 Hoechst working solution preparation: 10 milligrams should dissolve in 5 mL DMSO. It is advised to store the stock solution in the dark at 4°C or -20°C to prevent recurrent freezing and thawing. 1.2 Hoechst stock solution preparation A Hoechst working solution with a final concentration of 10 μg/mL is created by dissolving the stock solution in either PBS or serum-free cell culture medium. Note: Please modify the Hoechst working fluid concentration based on the current circumstances. 1. Staining of cells 2.1 Suspension plates with six wells a. Discard the supernatant after centrifuging at 1000g for three to five minutes at 4°C. Use PBS to wash twice, for five minutes each time. The density of cells is 1×106/mL. c. After adding 1 mL of the working solution, wait three to ten minutes. c. Centrifuge for 3–4 minutes at 400 g and 4°C, discarding the supernatant. d. Use PBS to wash twice, for five minutes each time. e. Re-suspend the cells in PBS or serum-free culture media. observation using a flow cytometer or a fluorescence microscope 2.2 Cells that adhere On sterile coverslips, cultivate adherent cells (a). b. Aspirate extra cells and remove the coverslip from the culture medium. b. Pour in 100 μL of working solution, then give it a little shake to fully cover. Prelude: 3–10 minutes for cells. d. Wash your heart twice, for five minutes each time. Cursor matter or observation using a flow cytometer. Note 1: Please modify the Hoechst working fluid concentration based on the current circumstances. 2. This product is intended only for use in research and development; it cannot be used for home, medical, or other applications. 3.

| Enzyme Assay |
Pibenzimol/Hoechst 33258 is a fluorescent dye of benzimidazole derivative. Pibenzimol binds to AT-specific sites in the minor groove of duplex DNA and inhibits topoisomerase I, and DNA polymerase, thereby preventing DNA replication. This agent prolongs the G2 phase of the cell cycle and initiates apoptosis in tumor cells.
A benzimidazole antifilarial agent; it is fluorescent when it binds to certain nucleotides in DNA, thus providing a tool for the study of DNA replication; it also interferes with mitosis.

Staining examples:
Example 1: Hoechst 33258 may be utilized for the detection of nuclei. Method: For cell staining. 1. Fix, penetrate and seal cells first. 2. Incubate cells with Hoechst 33258 (1:1000; 30 min; dark). 3. Wash cells with PBS for five times and use a fluorescence microscope for image. Example 2: Hoechst 33258 may be utilized for the detection of nuclei and staining nuclei of live and dead cells (apoptotic/necrotic). Method: For cell staining. 1. Incubate cultured cells with 1 mL of the solution prepared with Hoechst 33258 (7.5 μg/mL; 37℃; 5% CO2; 30 min; 1×PBS). 2. Use a Evos FLc Fluorescent Inverted Microscope for image. Example 3: Hoechst 33258 may be utilized for the detection of nuclei, as well as in apoptosis detection assays. Method: For cell staining. 1. Fix cells in paraformaldehyde after transfection and wash cells with PBS. 2. Stain cells with Hoechst 33258 (30 min; 20℃; dark). 3. Use a fluorescence microscope for image. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
