RE:viability-check after SNARF-1

Hello Karim,

I'd use PI, My guess is that you are not interested in the non-viable cells
anyway and the PI -ve population shouldn't affect your SNARF staining.

I use PI as a viability stain in conjunction with PE/PerCP etc with no
problems


Best regards,

Arnold

a single-laser system? As far as I understand, SNARF-1 emits in the same
wavelength as 7-AAD, and possibly overlaps with PI as well.
