Hi-

I hope this is the proper route to post something on the archive.  I've
tracked down several protocols for propidium staining, but I do have one
question they do not address.  Don't you need to centrifuge the stained
samples before running them through the flow cytometer?   I would
imagine that you still have some PI in solution, and that it would give
you an awfully high background signal.  Any comments?

Thanks.  This is a wonderful forum.
