Product Description

CF® Dye Annexin V Conjugates can be used to stain the surface of apoptotic cells. The human anticoagulant Annexin V is a 35-36 kDa calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein with high affinity for phosphatidylserine (PS). In normal viable cells, PS is located on the inner leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane. In apoptotic cells, however, PS is translocated from the inner to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, where it can be detected by fluorescently labeled Annexin V.

  • Azide-free for no-wash, real-time live cell imaging in culture medium
  • Fast & simple detection of phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells
  • Choice of 11 CF® dye colors with superior brightness & photostability
  • For real-time live cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy, or flow cytometry

Preservative Free for Real-Time, Live Cell Imaging

Annexin V conjugates typically are supplied as stock solutions with azide as a preservative for end-point staining assays in Annexin V binding buffer. Our azide-free CF® Dye Annexin V Conjugates are supplied as lyophilized solids with no azide or other preservatives that might be incompatible with live cell imaging. After reconstitution in buffer, the conjugates can be added to cell culture medium for no-wash, real-time live cell imaging. Our Mini Syringe Filters are convenient for small volume sterile filtration of azide-free Annexin V stock solutions or other aqueous solutions for use in cell culture.

Superior CF® Dyes

Biotium’s next-generation CF® dyes were designed to be highly water-soluble with advantages in brightness and photostability compared to Alexa Fluor®, DyLight®, and other fluorescent dyes. Learn more about CF® Dyes.

Note: Conjugates of blue-fluorescent dyes like CF®350, CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets and may be challenging to use in tissue specimens. Blue dyes have lower fluorescence and photostability, and cells and tissue have high autofluorescence in blue wavelengths, resulting in lower signal to noise compared to other colors.

More Apoptosis Assays

We also offer Near-IR CF® Dye Annexin V Conjugates, preservative-free and lyophilized, compatible with small animal in vivo imaging. Annexin V Conjugate solutions (with azide) also are available with a large selection of CF® Dyes, biotin, R-PE, APC, and other labels. Annexin V is also available with other probes in our Apoptotic and Necrotic Staining Kits. See our full selection of Cell Viability and Apoptosis Assays.
