Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity Assays

WST-8 is a compound similar to MTT, which can be reduced to orange formazan by some dehydrogenase in mitochondria in the presence of electron coupling reagent. The amount of formazan produced is directly proportional to the number of living cells. By measuring the absorbance at 450 nm, the amount of living cells can...

Calcein AM is a widely used green fluorescent cell marker. Calcein AM is membrane-permeant and thus can be introduced into cells via incubation. Once inside the cells, calcein AM, a nonfluorescent molecule itself, is hydrolyzed by endogenous esterase into the highly negatively charged green fluorescent calcein....

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...

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.

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...

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.

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....

The XTT Cell Viability Assay Kit provides a simple method for determining live cell numbers using standard photometric microplate readers. Determination of live cell numbers is often used to assess the rate of cell proliferation and to screen cytotoxic agents. XTT is a tetrazolium derivative. Similar to MTT, XTT...

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.

Elabscience(R) Cell Cycle Assay Kit (Fluorometric-Red) is a kit that detects cell cycle by detecting DNA content. Detection principle: Cell cycle refers to the whole process from the end of one mitosis to the end of the next. During this process, the genetic material is replicated and doubled, and evenly distributed...

Resazurin Cell Viability Assay offers a simple, rapid, reliable, sensitive, safe and cost-effective measurement of cell viability. This kit performs at least as well as other commercial resazurin-based cell proliferation assay kits such as alamarBlue(R), PrestoBlue(R), or CellTiter-Blue(R). Resazurin detects cell...
