EdU is a pyrimidine analog, detection is based on a "click" reaction. The 594 EdU Imaging Kits (Red Fluorence) is used for proliferation assay.
Cell proliferation assays are fundamental experimental tools for assessing cell health, genotoxicity, and the efficacy of anti-tumor drugs. The BrdU assay is a commonly used method for measuring cell proliferation. The EdU assay represents an upgrade and breakthrough of the BrdU assay. EdU (5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine) is a pyrimidine analog that can be incorporated into the DNA double strand during DNA synthesis. The EdU assay is based on the “click” reaction, a copper-catalyzed atomic covalent reaction between an azide and an alkyne.
