Annexin V/ANXA5-FITC Apoptosis Detection Reagent (500X)

Reagent for detecting early stages of apoptosis. During apoptosis, phosphatidylserine (PS) is translocated from the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane to the cell surface. Annexin V has a strong, Ca2+-dependent affinity for PS and therefore is used as a probe for detecting apoptosis. The Annexin V-FITC conjugate can be used for detection of apoptosis by fluorescence microscopy or by flow cytometry. Visit our for tips and troubleshooting.

This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called 1001 Annexin V-FITC Reagent.

Annexin V/ANXA5-FITC Apoptosis Detection Reagent ab14082 (previously known as Annexin V-FITC Reagent 1001) can be used in a 10 min, one-step staining procedure to detect apoptosis by staining phosphatidylserine molecules which have translocated to the outside of the cell membrane. Analysis is by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.

This Annexin V/ANXA5-FITC reagent can be used with Annexin V/ANXA5 binding buffer ab14084 (see protocol section for instructions). The Annexin V/ANXA5-FITC reagent is also available as part of Annexin V/ANXA5-FITC apoptosis kit ab14085.
