FluoLabel™ Fixable Viability Far Red Stain (CAT#: ZL-1122-LX21)

Name: FluoLabel™ Fixable Viability Far Red Stain
SKU: ZL-1122-LX21
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Overview
Description	The product is an amine reactive dye that binds covalently to intracellular and extracellular amines, and the staining pattern is preserved following formaldehyde fixation. Which is 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.
Features	Convenient, and simple steps; Reduced signal variability and improved timing in sensitive experiments;
Applications	Flow Cytometer
Molecular Mechanism of Action	In cells with compromised membranes, the dye reacts with free amines both in the cell interior and on the cell surface, yielding intense fluorescent staining. In viable cells, the dye's reactivity is restricted to the cell-surface amines, resulting in less intense fluorescence. The difference in intensity is typically greater than 50-fold between live and dead cells, allowing for easy discrimination.
