Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit

Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit is an effective kit designed to dual detection of apoptotic stage: collapse of asymmetrical distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) and destabilization of membrane integrity. Annexin V binds with high affinity to PS (Kd ~ 5×10^-2) in Ca²⁺ presence and this binding is detected by its fluorochrome conjugated. Propidium iodide only can enter into late apoptotic or necrotic cells, to bind to DNA.

Features

• Earlier Apoptosis Detection than DNA-based assays.
• Dual detection of early- and late-stage cell apoptosis.
• Versatile, suitable for adhesion and suspension cells.
• Flow cytometry analysis:
