**CDb12 **(Compound of Designation blue 12) was discovered from mitotic cell selective dye screening in RPE1 cells, and stains mitotic cells 7 times stronger than interphase cells. CDb12 stains nucleus and increase the fluorescence upon treatment of DNA, but not of RNA. **CDb12** could monitor the dynamic cell division at least for 2 cell division cycle. In contrast, Hoechst treated cells showed cell cycle arrest at M phase, may be due to too strong binding to DNA

Time-lapse imaging of **CDb12**, compared to Hoechst 33342. RPE1 cells were stained with **CDb12 **(1 mM) or Hoechst 33342 (0.5 mg mL1 ). The mitosis was monitored for 24 h with frames taken every 3 min on a timelapse imaging system Nikon Biostation IM (Nikon) with DAPI filter (405 nm).
