Yeast nucleus staining

[Kevin A. Morano]

1)  Fix cells for 30 minutes in 70% ethanol.  
2) Resuspend in 1  ml  0.1% Nonidet P-40, 10 mM NaCl, 50 mM sodium citrate
pH 7.0.  Add Pi to 100 ug/ml.  Incubate on benchtop for 30 min.
3) Pellet and wash cells twice, resuspend in 50 mM citrate buffer .
4) View under microscope, stable for at least a few hours.  VERY intense.


Try this.  Cells are dead of course, so this only works for terminal
experiments.  It's essentially a stripped-down flow cytometry protocol.
