Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Dead Cell Stain Sampler Kit

Description

• Used to determine the viability of cells prior to the fixation and permeabilization required for intracellular antibody staining, or prior to elimination of biohazardous materials using formaldehyde fixation The stains in the sampler kit have been optimized and validated for use in flow cytometry Stains in this sampler kit have been conveniently packaged in eight 40-test vials to help ensure the stability and performance of the dye over time Amine-reactive dyes in solution will lose their effectiveness over a short period of time It is recommended to use the vial completely once rehydrated or aliquot the solution and store at -80°C, avoiding freeze thaw cycles LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable dead cell stains are available in a wide variety of colors to meet multi-color panel needs The sampler kit provides one vial (40 assays) of each of the eight dead cell stains available Optimal brightness The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable dead cell stains were selected based on their fluorescent properties to provide a bright signal when excited with the optimal lasers Since live and dead cells can be discriminated using a single dye and a single channel of a flow cytometer, these dead cell stains are an ideal choice for multi-color experiments Find the LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Dead Cell Stain that fits various needs: For UV lasers: blue For violet lasers: aqua, violet, or yellow For blue lasers: green or red For red lasers: far-red or near-IR
