What are the benefits of BrdU?

One advantage of BrdU is that it integrates into the nuclear DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle, with their presence quickly detectable through immunohistochemical methods. Another advantage is the BrdU method enables analysis at the single-cell level. This high-resolution capability allows for examination of individual cell behavior, including their proliferation rates and the timing of DNA synthesis. Additionally, radioactivity is not necessary for BrdU.
