TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) mediated dUTP nick-end labeling) is highly selective for the detection of apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks resulting from irradiation or drug treatment. In this assay, TdT enzyme catalyzes the addition of labeled dUTP to the 3' ends of cleaved DNA fragments. Fluorescent dye-conjugated dUTP can be used for direct detection of fragmented DNA in fixed cells or tissue sections. Biotium offer TUNEL kits with dUTP conjugates of our bright and photostable CF® dyes with green, red, or far-red fluorescence.
Non-specific fluorescence background can have several causes, including sample autofluorescence, non-specific antibody binding, and electrostatic interactions of fluorescent dyes with proteins and blotting membranes. TrueBlack® reagents for IF staining and western blotting block background from multiple sources for optimal specificity.

Viability PCR is a powerful technology for the sensitive and rapid detection of viable microorganisms. Unlike time-consuming culturing methods, qPCR is a fast and sensitive method of detection. However, normal qPCR does not distinguish between live and dead cells. With v-PCR using PMAxx™ or PMA, you get the speed, sensitivity and specificity of PCR, plus quantifiable viability. And because no culturing is required, you can even detect viable but not culturable (VBNC) bacteria. The v-PCR technology can be applied not only to bacteria but to other organisms like yeast, viruses, eukaryotes, and archaea.
