Revvity ViaStain Annexin V-FITC Kit for Cellometer

The Annexin V-FITC Kit is designed to detect annexin V positive cells as well as membrane compromised propidium iodide (PI) positive cells.Propidium Iodide (PI) is a membrane-exclusion dye that permeates cells with compromised cell membranes and binds to DNA. Early apoptotic and healthy cells with intact membranes will exclude PI, while very late stage apoptotic and necrotic cells with compromised membranes are stained. Use of both Annexin V-FITC and PI allows researchers to characterize a cell population based on % healthy cells, % annexin V positive cells, and % dead/ necrotic PI positive cells.
