Identifies early apoptotic, necrotic and viable cells. One-step staining procedure which detects apoptosis by staining exposed phosphatidylserine (PS) which have translocated to the external cell surface. This allows detection of membrane changes that occur in early apoptotic cells. The kit is able to differentiate between:
Â
Apoptotic cells:Â Stained by Annexin V-FITC but not propidium iodide
Necrotic cells:Â Stained by both Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide
Live cells: Stained by neither Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide
Â
This kit contains:
Annexin V-FITC Staining solution
Propidium Iodide Staining solution
10x binding buffer
