Live/Dead Fix Near IR (876)

Live/Dead Fix Near IR (876) (Ex-Max 834 nm/Em-Max 870 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 Near IR (876) has an excitation peak at 834 nm and an emission peak at 870 nm. This viability dye is designed for flow cytometers with a 785 or 808 nm excitation laser.
