Application

A probe for DNA synthesis in vivo that is less toxic than both EdU and BrdU. Ideally suited for metabolic DNA labeling when prolonged cell survival and undisturbed cell cycle progression are required.

Commonly used metabolic labels for DNA, including 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and BrdU, are toxic antimetabolites that cause DNA instability, necrosis, and cell-cycle arrest. In addition to perturbing biological function, these properties can prevent metabolic labeling studies where subsequent tissue survival is
