Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ Propidium Iodide

Standard reagent used for assessing cell viability and exclusion of non-viable cells in flow cytometry. PI binds to double-stranded DNA, but is excluded from cells with intact plasma membranes.
Supplier: Invitrogen™ BMS500PI

Includes: Propodium Iodide
Description
- PI should be analyzed in the PE channel when used as a counterstain for Annexin V FITC
- 7-AAD can be used in place of PI when using Annexin V PE
- The advantage of 7-AAD over PI is that there is minimal spectral overlap between these emissions
- Choose Propidium Iodide as a counterstain with Annexin V apoptosis assays
