Product Name – 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) | TC372-100MG Quantity/Pack Size – 100 mg Form – Powder Grade – Research Grade Application – Cell Proliferation Studies
Product Overview
5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) is a synthetic nucleoside that is an analog of thymidine. BrdU is commonly used in the detection of proliferating cells in living tissues. It is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA of replicating cells during the S phase of the cell cycle, substituting for thymidine during DNA replication. This makes it a valuable tool for studying cell proliferation and DNA synthesis. Our BrdU is of the highest purity, ensuring reliable and consistent results in your research applications.
FAQs
1. What is the primary application of BrdU?
BrdU is primarily used for cell proliferation studies.
2. Is BrdU compatible with all cell types?
BrdU is generally compatible with most cell types, but specific compatibility should be verified for each application.
3. Are there any alternatives to BrdU?
Alternatives to BrdU include other thymidine analogs like EdU (5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine).
4. How should BrdU be stored?
BrdU should be stored at -20°C to maintain its stability and efficacy.
5. Where is BrdU sourced from?
Our BrdU is sourced from reputable manufacturers to ensure high quality and purity.
