General description

The Baseclick EdU HTS Kits provide a superior alternative to BrdU and [3H]thymidine assays for directly measuring DNA synthesis of adherent cells in 96 well plates. EdU (5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine) is a nucleoside analog to thymidine and is incorporated into DNA during active DNA synthesis. In contrast to BrdU assays, the EdU HTS Assays are not antibody based and therefore do not require DNA denaturation for detection of the incorporated nucleoside. Instead, the EdU HTS Kits utilize click chemistry for detection in a variety of dye fluorescent readouts. Furthermore, the streamlined detection protocol reduces both the total number of steps and significantly decreases the total amount of time. The simple click chemistry detection procedure is complete within 30 minutes and is compatible with multiplexing for content and context-rich results.

T lymphocyte proliferations can be measured by [(3)H]thymidine incorporation. However, many labs avoid this technique because of the need to use radioactive substrates. In addition, [(3)H]thymidine incorporation method does not permit simultaneous characterization of the proliferating cells. We developed the

Labelling and identifying proliferating cells is central to understanding neurogenesis and neural lineages in vivo and in vitro. We present here a novel thymidine analogue, ethynyl deoxyuridine (EdU) for labelling dividing cells, detected with a fluorescent azide which forms a
