How are SYTO dyes for nuclear staining FFPE sections?

08 August 2018 1 3K Report

I am looking for alternatives to the classic dyes for nuclear staining (DAPI/Hoechst/DRAQ), and I would like to look into some that are not in the blue range. SYTO seem to be a good collection of dyes covering a wide range of colors. Are they any good? What are the caveats in using them?

Any help is appreciated in advance.
