Description

• PI should be analyzed in the PE channel when used as a counterstain for Annexin V FITC
• 7-AAD can be used in place of PI when using Annexin V PE
• The advantage of 7-AAD over PI is that there is minimal spectral overlap between these emissions
• Choose Propidium Iodide as a counterstain with Annexin V apoptosis assays
