Cell Based Assays

Useful with a variety of fluorescence-detection methodologies

CyQUANT™ Direct Red Cell Proliferation Assay is a simple no-wash, add-and-read fluorescent microplate assay that can be used to assess cell growth, viability, or compound toxicity.

The 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.

Used to determine mitochondrial membrane potential in flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy. Dye selectively enters mitochondria where it reversibly changes color as membrane potentials increase. Property due to the reversible formation of JC-1 aggregates upon membrane polarization.

General oxidative stress indicator

Propidium Iodide - 1.0 mg/mL Solution in Water

Achieve faster staining and more accurate results without the need for wash steps or quencher dye with pH-sensitive pHrodo BioParticles conjugates and phagocytosis kit for flow cytometry. pHrodo BioParticles conjugates for phagocytosis are non-fluorescent outside the cell at neutral pH but fluoresce...

For use with fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry

Invitrogen CellMask™ plasma membrane stains enable fast and uniform labeling of the plasma membrane in almost all cell types. These stains works rapidly and can be detected using standard microscope filter sets with any imaging instrument.

Sensitive marker for mitochondrial membrane potential

Deep red-fluorescent dye for labeling and tracking acidic organelles in live cells

5(6)-CFDA, SE; CFSE (5-(and-6)-Carboxyfluorescein Diacetate, Succinimidyl Ester), mixed isomers

Widely used for cell tracking and proliferation studies. It has also been used in CTL assays and cell motility studies. CFSE readily crosses intact cell membranes.
