EdU is a thymidine analog, and its attached alkyne group is rare in natural compounds, and it can infiltrate thymine (T) into the DNA molecule being synthesized during DNA replication. Based on the specific reaction of Apollo® fluorescent dyes with EdU, DNA replication activity can be detected directly and accurately. EdU is widely used in cell proliferation, differentiation, growth and development, DNA damage repair, virus replication, etc. It is especially suitable for cell proliferation screening experiments of siRNA, miRNA, small molecule compounds and drugs.

Product Advantages:

1: Simple: no antigen-antibody reaction is required, and the detection method based on small molecule chemical reaction is simple and efficient, and the reaction takes only a few minutes
2, sensitive: no need for antibodies, detection of dye only 1 / 500 of BrdU antibody, easy to spread, even a single proliferating cell can accurately detect
3, fast: no need to stay overnight, eliminating the complicated and cumbersome steps of antigen-antibody reaction , it takes only 5 hours to complete the entire inspection cycle
