I need to evaluate cellular vitality in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using flow citometry. In the past I've used LIVE/DEAD Fungalight kit from Thermofisher. Now I would like to use just CFDA, but after searching in Thermofisher website, I found two similar reagents:
- C1354 5-CFDA, AM (5-Carboxyfluorescein Diacetato, acetoximetil Ester)
- C195 5(6)-CFDA (5-(and-6)-Carboxyfluorescein Diacetate), mixed isomers
Both are described in the website as reagents able to asses vitality but I would like to know the difference between them or which one is better. Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks in advance
