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.
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™ 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™ 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.
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
Invitrogen™ LysoTracker™ Red DND-99, special packaging
Red-fluorescent dye for labeling and tracking acidic organelles in live cells
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™ 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.
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.
Molecular Probes™ 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.
