Cell Based Assays

This product is designed to facilitate the binding of annexin V to phosphatidylserine for use in apoptosis assays.

This product detects apoptotic cells with changes in nuclear chromatin condensation and plasma membrane permeability, using three nucleic acid stains: UV-excitable Hoechst 33342, green fluorescent YO-PRO™ dye, and propidium iodide. The YO-PRO™ dye can en

This flow cytometry product detects apoptosis on the basis of changes that occur in the permeability of cell membranes using PO-PRO™-1 and 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) nucleic acid stains. After staining a cell population with PO-PRO™-1 dye and 7-AAD, ap

This flow cytometry product provides a three-color fluorescence assay that distinguishes live, apoptotic, and late apoptotic cells from one another. These populations can easily be distinguished using a flow cytometer that has both 488 nm and 633 nm exci

This flow cytometry product provides a rapid and convenient assay for two hallmarks of apoptosis - phosphatidylserine externalization and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. After staining a cell population with Alexa Fluor™ 488 annexin V and Mi

This product detects the externalization of phosphatidylserine in apoptotic cells using recombinant annexin V conjugated to green-fluorescent Alexa Fluor™ 488 dye and dead cells using SYTOX™ Green nucleic acid stain. After treatment with both probes, apoptotic cells show green fluorescence, dead cells show brighter green fluorescence, and live cells show little or no fluorescence. These populations can easily be distinguished in the FL1 channel of a flow cytometer, freeing the other channels for detection of other fluorescent colors.
