1. Specificity: The TUNEL assay specifically labels DNA breaks associated with apoptosis, minimizing false positives from necrosis or other forms of cell death. 2. Versatility: It can be applied to a wide range of samples, including paraffin-embedded sections, cryosections, and cultured cells. 3. Quantitative Analysis: The assay allows for the quantification of apoptotic cells, providing valuable data for comparative studies and statistical analysis.
