F-ara-EdU is a low-toxic, highly stable DNA synthesis probe that is used to mark cell proliferation and DNA replication by binding to DNA or RNA in cells. F-ara-EdU can also be used to detect the synthesis rate of DNA in cells and study the mechanisms of DNA repair and damage.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
