TransDetect® In Situ Fluorescein TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit

TransDetect^® In Situ Fluorescein TUNEL Cell Apoptosis Detection Kit provides a precise, simple and low-toxicity way to detect and quantify apoptotic cell death at single cell level in cells and tissues. TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) reaction preferentially labels DNA strand breaks generated during apoptosis with fluorescein-labeled dUTP. The fluorescein labeled DNA can be detected and quantified by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This kit can be used to detect apoptosis in paraffin-embedded tissue sections, cryopreserved tissue sections, cells cultured on chamber slides, cell smear and cell suspensions.
 

Highlights
• Extremely low toxicity, labeling solution is free of commonly used highly-toxic cacodylate.
• High sensitivity, high specificity, optimal ratio of labeled and non-labeled substrates.
• Simple, one-step labeling by mixing TdT and labeling solution.
• Flexible, can be used in many assay systems.
