Materials Required but Not Provided

 

Caution

The hazards posed by this stain have not been fully investigated. Since Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain is known to bind to nucleic acids, treat the stain as a potential mutagen and use with appropriate care. The stain is supplied as a solution in DMSO, which is known to facilitate the entry of organic molecules into tissues. Use the stain using equipment and practices appropriate for the hazards posed by such materials. Dispose of the reagents in compliance with all pertaining local regulations.

实验步骤

 

The following staining protocol was optimized using Jurkat cells, a human T-cell leukemia line, in complete RPMI medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum with staining at 37?C, but can be adapted to most cell types. Test samples comprise of 1 × 106 cells per 1 mL. Growth medium or buffer used, cell density, cell type variations, and other factors may influence staining. In initial experiments, try a range of dye concentrations to determine the one that yields optimal staining for the given cell type, buffer, and experimental condition. For a given experiment, each flow cytometry sample should contain the same number of cells, as sample-to-sample variation in cell number leads to significant differences in fluorescence signal.

If Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain is used in combination with other stains for multicolor applications, apply the other stain(s) to the sample first, following all manufacturers’ instructions, including wash steps. Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain should be the last stain applied to the sample, and do not wash or fix samples prior to flow cytometric analysis.

 

General Guidelines

For optimal DNA content cell cycle analysis, follow these guidelines:

 

Vybrant ® DyeCycle™ Violet Staining Protocol

This basic protocol is optimized using Jurkat cells suspended in complete medium (RPMI/10% fetal bovine serum) and stained with Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain at 37?C.

  1. Remove the Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain from the refrigerator and allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature.
  2. Prepare flow cytometry tubes each containing 1 mL of cell suspension in complete media at a cell concentration of 1 × 106 cells/mL.
  3. To each tube, add 1 μL of Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain and mix well. Final stain concentration is 5 μM.
  4. Incubate at 37?C for 30 minutes, protected from light. Keep cells at 37?C until acquisition.
  5. Analyze samples without washing or fixing on a flow cytometer using ~405 nm excitation and ~440 nm emission (Figure 2). Vybrant® DyeCycle™ Violet stain may also be excited with a UV light source.
