Annexin V probe is the most commonly method used to detect cell apoptosis. Annexin V can specifically bind to phosphatidylserine (PS) with high affinity.Phosphatidylserine (PS), which is normally located on the inner side of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, In the early stages of apoptosis, PS flips to the outer side. Annexin V Assays contains fluorochromes-labeled Annexin V and nucleic acid dyes such as Propidium iodide (PI) or 7-AAD or DAPI,which is possible to accurately distinguish between normal cells, early apoptotic cells and late apoptotic cells. Elabscience® has independently developed the Annexin V Fluorochromes Double Staining Cell Apoptosis Detection Kit, which combines 15 Fluorochromes dyes with 3 nucleic acid dyes to meet your diverse needs.
