Search for Certificates of Analysis (COA) by entering the products Lot/Batch Number. Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product’s label following the words ‘Lot’ or ‘Batch’.
Documents related to the products that you have purchased in the past have been gathered in the Document Library for your convenience.
How to Find the Product Number
Product numbers are combined with Pack Sizes/Quantity when displayed on the website (example: T1503-25G). Please make sure you enter ONLY the product number in the Product Number field (example: T1503).

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.
The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.
The binding buffer included in the kit needs to be used for resuspending cells. The buffer contains calcium chloride at a final (1X) concentration of 2.5 mM which is necessary for the binding of annexin V to phosphatidylserine.
Annexin V FITC will have a maximum emission of 528 nm. This can be measured in the standard FITC Channel on a flow cytometer (FL1). Propidium Iodide has a maximum emission of 620 nm. This is measured on the short red channel on a flow cytometer (FL2 or FL3).
When using a kinetic study (various time points), you can show the progression of the cells from viable (annexin V FITC negative, PI negative), to annexin FITC positive, PI negative (membrane flip) to annexin V FITC positive, PI positive (dead). If there are cells that are double positive when starting, it is not possible to guarantee that the cell death occurred due to apoptosis with this assay.
It is not possible to have cells that are PI positive without the cells also being positive for Annexin V binding. Cells are PI positive because the membrane has been compromised. If this is the case, Annexin V can also enter the cell and bind to the PS on the internal cell membrane. The gating on the histogram for the FITC channel should be changed so that all cells that are PI positive are also Annexin V positive.

No. Product APOAF, Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit must be performed on live cells in order to measure Apoptosis. The assay is based on the externization of phosphatidylserine from the inner cell membrane to the outer cell membrane. If the membrane is preturbed due to fixation, non-speciifc staining of the inner cell membrane might occur
