Description
SYTOX™ Green Dead Cell Stain is a bright, easy-to-use nucleic acid stain for distinguishing dead from live cells in flow cytometry assays. It is excitable at 488 nm with an emission profile similar to FITC, and has been tested in an assortment of cell types.View a selection guide for all nonfixable viability dyes for flow cytometry.
You get these advantages with SYTOX™ Green Dead Cell Stain:
• Bright Signal—Easily distinguishes dead cells from live cells.
• Rapid Staining—Single step, No Wash Assay to assess viability of unfixed cells.
• Validation—in Jurkat, ReH, CHO, Kg1a, 3T3, HeLa, HEK (primary cells), and lysed whole blood.
• Optimization—Dye concentration has been optimized for use in flow cytometry.
• Versatility—Tested in a variety of experimental applications.
A bright stain in an easy to use, no wash assay
SYTOX™ Green Dead Cell Stain is a cell-impermeant nucleic acid stain. By flow cytometry, dead cells can be easily distinguished from live cells by the increased fluorescent signal due to dsDNA binding of SYTOX™ Green (Fig 1). Because it is non-fluorescent in aqueous media, SYTOX™ Green Dead Cell Stain can be applied to cells and visualized with minimal background staining and without an additional wash step.
Validated in flow cytometry
SYTOX™ Green is designed for flow cytometry using the 488 nm blue laser with emission in the 530/30 BP filter (similar to FITC and GFP). The dye concentration has been optimized for samples with concentrations ranging from 1x104 to 1x106 cells per ml.
SYTOX™ Green Cell Stain has been validated in several cell types including:
• Jurkat
• ReH
• CHO
• Kg1a
• 3T3
• HeLa
• HEK (primary cells)
• Lysed whole blood
SYTOX™ Green Dead Cell Stain has been tested in several applications including:
• Apoptosis (Fig 2)
• Cell cycle
• Cell proliferation
• Immunophenotyping assays
Part of the SYTOX™ family of cell viability stains
