Accurate measurement of cell division and proliferation is a fundamental part of experimental biology and is crucial in the assessment of cell health. One of the most common methods for detecting and measuring cell division is 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a thymidine analog that is specifically incorporated into DNA during S phase of the cell cycle. While BrdU labeling of cells or tissue is common practice, there are several challenges associated with this type of experiment. This webinar provides a guide to best practices for performing BrdU labeling experiments and subsequent detection in immunoassays, helping you to avoid BrdU blues.
