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.
Thermo Scientific™ DAPI and Hoechst Nucleic Acid Stains
DAPI and Hoechst are classic popular nuclear counterstains for use in all fluorescent cell and tissue techniques. The blue fluorescence is vivid contrast to green, yellow, orange, red, far red and NIR fluorescent probes and labels.
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ CFSE Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ CFSE Cell Proliferation Kit is used for in vitro and in vivo labeling of cells to trace multiple generations using dye dilution by flow cytometry.
Invitrogen™ LysoTracker™ Deep Red
Deep red-fluorescent dye for labeling and tracking acidic organelles 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.
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
Invitrogen™ CyQUANT™ MTT and XTT Cell Viability Assays
CyQUANT MTT and XTT Cell Viability assays are colorimetric microplate assays for accurate assessment of cell health, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. CyQUANT MTT is a well-established assay, while CyQUANT XTT offers improved performance and continuous measurement without cell lysis or solubilization.
Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Violet Dead Cell Stain Kit, for 405 nm excitation
The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Violet 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™ 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.
Molecular Probes™ MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide)
MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide)
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.
Invitrogen™ ReadyProbes™ Reagent F-Actin Phalloidin Conjugates
Perfect for fixed cells and tissue, ReadyProbes Reagent F-actin phalloidin conjugates offer clear visualization of actin filaments, making it perfect for cell biology, neuroscience, cancer research, and more.
Invitrogen™ CyQUANT™ Cell Proliferation Assays
CyQUANT cell proliferation assays are fast and highly sensitive fluorescence methods for counting cells to assess cell growth and cytotoxicity in microplate format. These assays use fluorescent nucleic-acid-binding dyes to measure cell number based on DNA content.
Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Blue Dead Cell Stain Kit, for UV excitation
The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Blue 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™ HCS CellMask™ Stains
Easily visualize entire cells or individual cell structures during high-content screening (HCS) assays with HCS CellMask stains, which are available in a variety of colors for multiplexing flexibility and can be used immediately after fixation and permeabilization, or after antibody labeling.
