General description

Propidium iodide solution is used to assess neuronal death.

Application

Propidium iodide solution has been used:
  • in staining DNA
  • in the viability staining method to study islet viability
  • to visualize F-actins and nuclei in mesenchymal stem cell sheets

Membrane impermeant, phenanthridinium intercalator dye excited by mercury or xenon-arc lamps or argon-ion laser. Suitable for use in fluorescence microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, flow cytometry, and fluorometry. Used as a nuclear counterstain.
