Live/Dead Fix Olive

Live/Dead Fix Olive (Ex-Max 475 nm/Em-Max 560 nm)

The Live/Dead Fixable Viability probes from Thermo Fisher are amine-reactive and used for live/dead cell discrimination in flow cytometry. These probes pass through the permeable cell membrane of dead cells to stain intracellular amine groups. However, the probe cannot pass through the intact membranes of live cells. Additionally, these dyes are very stable and can withstand fixation, permeabilization, and will not transfer between cells. Live/Dead Fixable Olive has an excitation peak at 475 nm and an emission peak at 560 nm.
