Technical Data
B2850-03A
Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)
Description:
Applications:
Suitable for use in In situ-hybridization, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry (Frozen and paraffin sections)

Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry: 1:10; Incubation Time 1 hr at room temperature.

It can be used for:
1. Radioimmunocytochemical detection of circulating levels of BrdU
2 Detection of S-phase cells in tissue sections by immunoperoxidase or immunofluorescence method
3. Detection of S-phase cells in cell suspension
4. Determination of the percentage of profilerating cells by flow cytometry
5. Quantitative determination of the number of various phases of the cell cycle by dual parameter flow-cytometrical analysis

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20°C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
