F-ara-EdU (2’-deoxy-2’-fluoro-5-ethynyluridine) is a synthetic analog of thymidine used to study de novo DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. It is a less cytotoxic alternative for BrdU (5-Bromo-2’-deoxyuridine) and EdU (5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine).

F-ara-EdU incorporates into replicating DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle instead of natural thymidine. Metabolic incorporation of F-ara-EdU into DNA can be detected by copper-catalyzed click reaction with fluorescent or biotin-labeled azides.

In contrast to EdU, F-ara-EdU causes little or no cellular arrest or DNA synthesis inhibition. Therefore, F-ara-EdU is ideally suited for pulse-chase experiments aimed at birth-dating DNA in vivo and long-term cell survival estimation.

AF 488 tyramide

A tyramide derivative of AF 488, a green fluorescent reagent widely used for tyramide signal amplification (TSA) in IHC, ICC, and FISH.

CM-DiI, lipophilic tracer

Orange-red fluorescent lipophilic dye for membrane labeling and cell tracking. Unlike other membrane dyes, CM-DiI persists in cells after their fixation and permeabilization.

EdU (5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine)

EdU is a nucleoside that is incorporated into replicated DNA by cellular enzymes. After it, DNA contained in the cells can be developed by click chemistry reaction with fluorescent dye azides to reveal cell proliferation.
