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™ 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.
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.
Invitrogen™ 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.
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™ Amplex™ Red and Amplex™ UltraRed Reagents
The Amplex Red and UltraRed reagents are fluorogenic substrates for peroxidase. These highly sensitive and stable probes react with H2O2 in the presence of HRP for solution-based assays and ELISAs. Amplex UltraRed is a brighter version of Amplex Red with an improved pH range and sensitivity.
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Near-IR Dead Cell Stain Kit, for 633 or 635 nm excitation
Determines 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™ CellROX™ Deep Red Reagent, for oxidative stress detection
CellROX™ Deep Red Reagent is a novel fluorogenic probe for measuring cellular oxidative stress in both live and fixed cell imaging, with absorption/emission maxima at ∼644/665 nm.
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™ LysoTracker™ Deep Red
Deep red-fluorescent dye for labeling and tracking acidic organelles in live cells
Invitrogen™ Click-iT™ EdU Cell Proliferation Kit for Imaging, Alexa Fluor™ 488 dye
Optimized for fluorescence microscopy applications
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™ Image-iT™ TMRM Reagent (mitochondrial membrane potential indicator)
Healthy mitochondrial membranes maintain a difference in electrical potential between the interior and exterior of the organelle, referred to as a membrane potential.
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
Invitrogen™ Oxidized Low-density Lipoprotein (OxLDL) and DiI-OxLDL
Study lipid transport and atherosclerosis with oxidized LDL (OxLDL) and the fluorescently labeled DiI-OxLDL. Oxidized forms of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are used to examine scavenger receptor-mediated endocytosis of OxLDL by macrophages and endothelial cells.
