Protocol tips

Protocol tips
Place aluminum foil over
the sample to protect it from light and incubate at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.

Optimize incubation time to
minimize signal bleeding through to other channels.

Publication protocol

Cell cycle analysis
MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded in duplicate into 6-well plates at 15 × 10 cells and incubated for 24 h prior to drug treatment for 24 h, or 48 h. Cells were then harvested, washed twice with PBS, centrifuged at 200 g for 5 min at 4 °C, re-suspended in 1 mL of cold PBS, fixed in 4 mL of cold absolute ethanol and then stored at −20 °C until staining and analysis. Fixed cells were then treated for 1 h with 200 μM DNase-free RNase A, stained with 1 mM propidium iodide (PI) and incubated for 10 min in the dark. Fluorescence of PI, a measure of DNA content in a cell population, was performed using flow cytometry (FACSCanto II, Becton Dickinson). A total of 10,000 gated events were acquired to assess the proportions of cells in different stages of the cell cycle. Analysis of cell cycle distribution was performed using FlowJo Software.

About nuclease-free water in DNA quantification

Hi everyone! I have a question about DNA quantification. Do I need to use nuclease-free water for DNA quantification and are there any repercussions if I don’t use any?
