Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity Assays

Necrosis is accompanied by mitochondrial swelling and increased plasma membrane permeability, while apoptosis involves an articulated breakdown of the cell into membrane-bound apoptotic bodies. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a soluble cytosolic enzyme that is released into the culture medium following loss of...

Autophagy is a critical cellular process that involves the degradation and digestion of intracellular components by the lysosome. This process not only enables cells to efficiently mobilize and recycle cellular constituents, but also prevents the accumulation of damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and invading...

Cell Meter(TM) Direct Cell Proliferation Assay Kit offers an easy solution for quantifying cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in live cell populations. The assay is based on a proprietary cell-permeant DNA-binding dye paired with a signal enhancer that prevents dead-cell staining, ensuring that only intact, live...

The XTT assay is a fast and reliable method for measuring cell viability and proliferation. Based on the reduction of the XTT tetrazolium compound by metabolically active cells, this kit produces a soluble formazan product that can be quantified through absorbance at 450 nm. The assay eliminates the need for washing...

Defining the mechanisms responsible for alterations in cell cycle progression is crucial to understanding many human diseases, most notably cancer. Cell proliferation assays have been widely used to assess cell cycle regulatory factors such as growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and drugs. Cayman's XTT cell...

Elabscience(R) Enhanced Cell Counting Kit 8 (WST-8 / CCK8) is a rapid and highly sensitive kit based on WST-8, which is widely used in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection and it is more sensitive than ordinary CCK8 kit. WST-8 is a compound similar to MTT, which can be reduced to orange formazan by some...

Non radioactive single tube assay. Can further distinguish apoptosis from necrosis, leading to a more accurate assessment of cytolytic activity. Contains membrane stain, vital stain, and apoptosis reagent.

This particular kit uses two indicators- calcein AM for viable cells and a cell-impermeable DNA-binding dye for the cells with compromised membranes. 96 wells: 100 assays, 394-wells: 400 assays.

Elabscience(R) MTT Assay Kit is a rapid and highly sensitive kit widely used in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection. Detection principle: MTT is 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide which can be reduced by some dehydrogenases in mitochondria to form a crystalline dark purple...

ICT's Pyroptosis/Caspase-1 Assay, Green utilizes our popular FLICA technology to measure caspase-1 activation. Using this kit, researchers can easily detect the pyroptotic cells in their whole cell samples in vitro. This complete kit includes Nigericin for the simple and reliable generation of a positive control....

Non radioactive single tube assay. Can further distinguish apoptosis from necrosis, leading to a more accurate assessment of cytolytic activity. Contains membrane stain, vital stain, and apoptosis reagent.

This kit uses a proprietary dye that gets enhanced fluorescence after esterase-catalyzed hydrolysis upon entering into live cells. Esterase activity is proportional to the number of vial cells.
