Annexin 5 fitc pi double staining assay
The Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay is a laboratory technique used for the detection and quantification of apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death. The assay utilizes two fluorescent dyes: Annexin V-FITC and Propidium Iodide (PI). Annexin V-FITC binds to phosphatidylserine, which is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells, while PI stains the DNA of cells with compromised cell membranes, indicating late-stage apoptosis or necrosis. This combined staining allows for the differentiation between viable, early apoptotic, late apoptotic, and necrotic cells.

Next, 5 μL of FITC-annexin V and 5 μL PI were added with gentle vortexing and incubation for 15 min at room temperature (25°C) in the dark. Then, 400 μL of Binding Buffer was added to each tube and analyzed by flow cytometry within 1 hr, so as in tumor suspensions.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
