Description
Cell-permeant, blue fluorescent viability probe. -
Biological description
Blue fluorescent cell viability probe which won't overlap with green fluorescence from other probes. Penetrates live cell membranes and is virtually non-fluorescent. Upon ubiquitous esterase enzyme activity it produces a bright blue fluorescent that is trapped in live cells - convenient for measurement by epifluorescence light microscopy or flow cytometry. Useful to measure the total number of live versus dead cells - dye leaks out quickly due to the compromised membrane in dead cells resulting in no staining.

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Refer to SDS for further information.
