Hi-

I hope this is the proper route to post something on the archive. I've
tracked down several protocols for propidium staining, but I do have one
question they do not address. Don't you need to centrifuge the stained
samples before running them through the flow cytometer? I would
imagine that you still have some PI in solution, and that it would give
you an awfully high background signal. Any comments?

Thanks. This is a wonderful forum.
