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™ CyQUANT™ LDH and G6PD Cytotoxicity Assays
CyQUANT cytotoxicity assays measure cellular toxicity based on the release of cytosolic enzymes (LDH or G6PD) from damaged cells. These cytotoxicity assays utilize either colorimetric or fluorescence detection and allow continuous monitoring of cell death using microplate readers.
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ Violet Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ Violet Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
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™ Click-iT™ EdU Cell Proliferation Kit for Imaging, Alexa Fluor™ 488 dye
Optimized for fluorescence microscopy applications
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™ 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™ 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™ 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™ CellTracker™ Fluorescent Probes
CellTracker™ is a fluorescent dye well suited for monitoring cell movement or location. After loading into cells, the dye is well retained, allowing for multigenerational tracking of cellular movements.
Invitrogen™ MitoSOX™ Mitochondrial Superoxide Indicators, for live-cell imaging
MitoSOX superoxide indicators are novel fluorogenic dyes specifically targeted to mitochondria in live cells. Oxidation of the MitoSOX reagent by mitochondrial superoxide produces bright green or red fluorescence.
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.
