Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Dead Cell Stain Sampler Kit

• 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
• The stains in the sampler kit have been optimized and validated for use in flow cytometry
• Stains in this sampler kit have been conveniently packaged in eight 40-test vials to help ensure the stability and performance of the dye over time
• Amine-reactive dyes in solution will lose their effectiveness over a short period of time
• It is recommended to use the vial completely once rehydrated or aliquot the solution and store at -80°C, avoiding freeze thaw cycles
• LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable dead cell stains are available in a wide variety of colors to meet multi-color panel needs
• The sampler kit provides one vial (40 assays) of each of the eight dead cell stains available

Optimal brightness

• The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable dead cell stains were selected based on their fluorescent properties to provide a bright signal when excited with the optimal lasers
• Since live and dead cells can be discriminated using a single dye and a single channel of a flow cytometer, these dead cell stains are an ideal choice for multi-color experiments

Find the LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Dead Cell Stain that fits various needs:

• For UV lasers: blue
• For violet lasers: aqua, violet, or yellow
• For blue lasers: green or red
• For red lasers: far-red or near-IR
