Invitrogen™ SYTOX™ Red Dead Cell Stain, for 633 or 635 nm excitation

Description

A simple and quantitative single-step, dead-cell indicator for use with red laser-equipped flow cytometers.

• A simple and quantitative single-step dead-cell indicator for use with red laser-equipped flow cytometers
• SYTOX™ Red 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™ Red stain, the nucleic acids of dead cells fluoresce bright red when excited with 633 or 635 nm red laser light
• SYTOX™ Red dead cell stain is distinct from other dead cell probes like 7-AAD and PI, which are excited using 488 nm
• The emission of SYTOX red stain is limited to one channel with minimal spectral overlap
• This effectively frees all the channels of the 488 nm laser line
• Supplied as a 5 μM solution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)
