pSIVA Apoptosis Detection Kit

Polarity Sensitive Indicator of Viability (pSIVA(TM) is an Annexin based, polarity sensitive probe for the spatiotemporal or kinetic analysis of apoptosis and other forms of cell death. pSIVA(TM) binding is reversible, enabling researchers to detect transient phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure which is associated with normal physiological processes as well as with reversible or rescuable apoptosis cell death events. pSIVA(TM) is conjugated to IANBD, a polarity sensitive dye that fluoresces only when pSIVA(TM) is bound to the cell membrane. pSIVA's membrane-bound dependent fluorescence and reversible binding properties are a technological leap for detecting PS exposure and offer additional information on the apoptosis pathway and cell survival compared to Annexin V conjugates. Annexin V binding is nonreversible.
