Hoechst 34580 tetrahydrochloride is a Hoechst series dye that is commonly used for nuclear labeling and staining of living cells. The maximum excitation/emission light is 392⁄490nm respectively. Hoechst dyes can be used to monitor cell viability by tracking changes in their emission spectra. As slightly groove-binding DNA stains with AT selectivity, Hoechst dyes are able to bind to all nucleic acids, but they show greater fluorescence enhancement for AT-rich double-stranded DNA strands compared to GC-rich strands[1]. This property has been used to identify Q bands in chromosomes, which are AT base pair-rich regions that fluoresce brightly when stained with quinacrine dye[2]. The fluorescence intensity of Hoechst dye increases as the pH of the solution increases.
Hoechst 34580 tetrahydrochloride is commonly used as a cell-permeable nuclear counterstain that emits blue fluorescence upon binding to dsDNA. Hoechst 34580 tetrahydrochloride is also used in various studies related to cell counting, cell cycle analysis and cell replication. It is particularly useful for identifying condensed nuclei in apoptotic cells and for cell cycle studies in combination with BrdU staining.

This plan only provides a guide, please modify it to meet your specific needs.
1. Prepare Hoechst staining solution
(1) Prepare Hoechst dye stock solution: Use DMSO to dissolve the solid powder and prepare a 1-5 mg/mL Hoechst dye stock solution.
Note: Hoechst stock solution is recommended to be aliquoted and stored in the dark at -4°C or -20°C to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
(2) Working solution preparation: Use preheated serum-free medium or buffer (such as HBSS or PBS) to dilute the stock solution and prepare a Hoechst working solution with a concentration of 1-10μg/mL.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Hoechst working fluid according to the actual situation and prepare it immediately.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells (taking 6-well plate as an example)
(1) Centrifuge suspended cells at 1000g for 3-5 minutes. Discard the supernatant and wash twice with PBS for 5 minutes each time.
(2) Add 1 mL of Hoechst dye working solution and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 5-30 minutes.
(3) After the incubation, centrifuge at 1000g for 5 minutes, remove the supernatant, add PBS and wash 2-3 times, 5 minutes each time.
(4) Use serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to resuspend the cells and observe them through fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
(1) Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
(2) Remove the coverslip from the culture medium, suck out the excess culture medium, and place the coverslip in a humid environment.
(3) Add 100μL of Hoechst dye working solution from one corner of the coverslip, shake gently to evenly cover all cells with the dye, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 5-30 minutes.
(4) Aspirate away the dye working solution, wash the coverslip 2 to 3 times with culture solution, and observe with a fluorescence microscope.
3. Microscope detection: Hoechst 34580 can be excited by near-UV (375nm) or purple (405nm) laser, and the maximum excitation/emission light is 392⁄490nm respectively[1][2].
Precautions:
1) Fluorescent dyes all have quenching problems. Please avoid light as much as possible to slow down fluorescence quenching.
2) For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves.
