Merck, 11767291910, TUNEL Label Mix

General description
The nucleotide-labeling mix (TUNEL Label) contains fluorescein-dUTP and -dNTPs, both needed to perform the TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling) reaction for the detection of apoptosis in situ. The nucleotide-labeling mix is used in combination with the TUNEL enzyme to prepare a TUNEL reaction mixture. This reaction mixture is used to label DNA-strand breaks for detecting and quantifying apoptotic cell death at a single-cell level in cells and tissues.
Application
TUNEL Label Mix has been used for the determination of apoptosis using TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling) assay and DNA nick-end labeling by the TUNEL method.

Preparation Note
Working solution: TUNEL Label is used in combination with the TUNEL Enzyme to prepare the TUNEL reaction mixture.
For one test: Mix 45 μl TUNEL Label with 5 μl TUNEL Enzyme prior to use. For negative control use 50 μl/test TUNEL Label only.
Storage conditions (working solution): Note: The TUNEL reaction mixture (45 μl TUNEL Label with 5 μl TUNEL Enzyme for 1 test) should be prepared just before use, and should not be stored. Keep the TUNEL reaction mixture on ice until use.
Other Notes
For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
