Cell cycle can be challenging due to difference introduced by sample handling, timing, and difference within the sample. Downstream instriuments to analyse cell cycle (Multicolor flow cytometry and multicolor imaging) can answer these challenges. Relevant markers can be combined with cell phenotyping markers to look at events within subpopulations of cells.
Though DNA quantification is but one small step in the multifaceted DNA sample preparation workflow, it can have large implications on the performance and validity of conclusions drawn from downstream assays. Major challenges include accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and detection of present contamination. Among UV spectrophotometry, fluorescence and real-time PCR based methods, the quantification method should be chosen based on the requirement of the downstream assay.

An alternative to culture-based cell death detection is an assessment of other cell viability indicators using fluorescent dyes, including membrane potential and membrane integrity. Live/Dead assays differentiates live and dead cells using membrane integrity as a proxy for cell viability and are based on a fluorescent staining procedure followed by detection using flow cytometry. However, samples preparation for such flow cytometry-based techniques could be challenging. Cell harvesting by trypsinization, mechanical or enzymatic cell disaggregation from tissues, extensive centrifugation steps, may all lead to preferential loss of apoptotic cells. To overcome this strictly follow manufacturers instruction of the detection kit.
