Cell Based Assays
Invitrogen™ SYTO™ Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains
SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains exhibit bright, green fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. These dyes are cell-permeant and can be used to stain RNA and DNA in live cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Invitrogen™ CellMask™ Plasma Membrane Stains
Invitrogen CellMask™ plasma membrane stains enable fast and uniform labeling of the plasma membrane in almost all cell types. These stains work rapidly and can be detected using standard microscope filter sets with any imaging instrument.
Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit, for 405 nm excitation
The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit is used to determine the viability of cells prior to the fixation and permeabilization required for intracellular antibody staining, or prior to elimination of biohazardous materials using formaldehyde fixation.
Invitrogen™ Calcein AM, Cell-permeant Green and Blue Dyes
Calcein AM is a cell-permeant dye that can be used to determine cell viability in most eukaryotic cells. In live cells, the non-fluorescent Calcein AM is converted to green or blue fluorescent Calcein, after acetoxymethyl ester hydrolysis by intracellular esterases.
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Cell Imaging Kit (488/570)
Sensitive two-color fluorescence cell viability assay optimized for FITC and Texas Red™ filters
Invitrogen™ PrestoBlue™ and PrestoBlue™ HS Cell Viability Reagents
Monitor cell proliferation and viability with the resazurin-based PrestoBlue and PrestoBlue HS cell viability reagents. These nontoxic and cell permeable reagents quantitatively measure cell viability in as little as 10 minutes using absorbance- or fluorescence-based microplate readers.
Invitrogen™ Amplex™ Red Hydrogen Peroxide/Peroxidase Assay Kit
Sensitive, one-step assay to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or peroxidase activity
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Viability/Cytotoxicity Kit, for mammalian cells
Useful with a variety of fluorescence-detection methodologies
Invitrogen™ Dextran, Alexa Fluor™ 488; 10,000 MW, Anionic, Fixable
Labeled dextrans are hydrophilic polysaccharides most commonly used in microscopy studies to monitor cell division, track the movement of live cells, and to report the hydrodynamic properties of the cytoplasmic matrix.
Invitrogen™ Click-iT™ EdU Cell Proliferation Kit for Imaging, Alexa Fluor™ 647 dye
Works the first time, every time, in less time
Invitrogen™ CellROX™ Green Reagent, for oxidative stress detection
Novel fluorogenic probe for measuring oxidative stress in live cells
Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ BacLight™ Bacterial Viability Kits
LIVE/DEAD™ BacLight™ Bacterial Viability Kits are easy-to-use fluorescent staining kits commonly used for assessing the viability of bacterial cells. These kits provide a two-color fluorescence assay of bacterial viability using green and red fluorescent dyes for use with imaging, flow, and assays.
Molecular Probes™ Fluo-4, AM, cell permeant
Fluo-4 is an analog of fluo-3 with the two chlorine substituents replaced by fluorines, which results in increased fluorescence excitation at 488 nm and consequently higher fluorescence signal levels.
Molecular Probes™ Dead Cell Apoptosis Kits with Annexin V for Flow Cytometry
Assess cell viability with Dead Cell Apoptosis kits with Annexin V and conjugated fluorescent dyes such as Alexa Fluor 488, FITC, PI, PE, APC, and SYTOX Green.
Invitrogen™ Propidium Iodide Ready Flow™ Reagent
Propidium Iodide Ready Flow™ Reagent is a bright, easy-to-use nucleic acid stain for distinguishing dead cells from live cells in flow cytometry assays.
