  • Methods and compositions for rapid staining of nucleic acids in whole cells
    Patent number: 6271035
    Abstract: A rapid fluorescence staining method for facilitating flow cytometry analysis of reticulocytes is described. The method comprises contacting cells with a cocktail containing a detergent, sphering agent, and a cell impermeable dye, such as TO-PRO-3, for about one minute. Advantageously, the inventors have found that the cocktail permits the dye to penetrate the cell membrane rapidly.
