S phase index

S phase index

S-phase index (SPI) is a measure of cell growth and viability. It is defined as the number of BrdU-incorporating cells relative to the volume of DNA staining determined from whole mount confocal analyses.

Only cells in the S Phase will incorporate BrdU into their DNA structure and so we can determine the length of the cell cycle using BrdU.
