Molecular Probes™ SYTOX™ Blue Dead Cell Stain, for flow cytometry

SYTOX™ Blue dead cell stain is a simple and quantitative single-step dead-cell indicator for use with violet laser equipped flow cytometers.

Brand:  Molecular Probes™ S34857

Product Code. 10297242

Description

• A simple and quantitative single-step dead-cell indicator for use with violet laser equipped flow cytometers
• SYTOX™ Blue dead cell stain is a high-affinity nucleic acid stain that easily penetrates cells with compromised plasma membranes but will not cross uncompromised cell membranes
• After brief incubation with SYTOX™ Blue stain, the nucleic acids of dead cells fluoresce bright blue when excited with 405 nm violet laser light
• The violet-excited fluorescence emission permits clear discrimination from probes excited by most other laser lines, facilitating the development of multicolor assays with minimal spectral overlap between signals
• Supplied as a 1 mM solution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)
