Propidium Iodide solution [1mg/ml]

Propidium Iodide (PI) is membrane impermeant and generally excluded from viable cells. PI is commonly used for identifying dead cells in a population and as a counterstain in muLticolor fluorescent techniques. PI is often used in conjunction with fluorescent probes such as calcein-am or FDA to identify living and dead cells. The excitation and emission wavelengths of the pi-dna complex were 535 nm and 615 nm respectively.
