This kit contains ready-to-use staining solutions for the fluorescent staining of yeast cells. The protocol requires ethanol fixation of the cells prior to staining. Yeast DNA staining is required for quantification of total DNA and yeast cell cycle analysis. The distribution of G1 and G2/M phases of the cell cycle varies during the fermentation of the yeast cells. Stained samples can be analysed on a flow cytometer. The reagent is recommended for selected configurations of the CyFlow™ Cube and CyFlow™ Space flow cytometers.
