Cell Based Assays
Invitrogen™ alamarBlue™ and alamarBlue™ HS Cell Viability Reagents
The alamarBlue cell viability reagents are ready-to-use resazurin-based solutions that function as cell health indicators by using the reducing power of living cells to quantitatively measure viability.
Invitrogen™ SYTOX™ Dead Cell Stain Sampler Kit, for flow cytometry
SYTOX™ Dead Cell Stain Sampler Kit contains five nucleic acid stains that can be used to determine the viability of cells in flow cytometry assays.
Invitrogen™ Griess Reagent Kit, for nitrite quantitation
For nitrite quantitation
Invitrogen™ 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™ PrestoBlue™ and PrestoBlue™ HS Cell Viability Reagents
Monitor cell proliferation and viability with the resazurin-based PrestoBlue and PrestoBlue HS cell viability reagents. These nontoxic and cell permeable reagents quantitatively measure cell viability in as little as 10 minutes using absorbance- or fluorescence-based microplate readers.
Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ CFSE
Widely used for cell tracking and proliferation studies. It has also been used in CTL assays and cell motility studies. CFSE readily crosses intact cell membranes.
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™ DiD' solid; DiIC18(5) solid (1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-Tetramethylindodicarbocyanine, 4-Chlorobenzenesulfonate Salt)
When applied to cells, dye diffuses laterally within the plasma membrane
Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ Fixable Viability Dye eFluor™ 780
A viability dye that can be used to irreversibly label dead cells prior to cryopreservation, fixation, and/or permeabilization procedures.
Invitrogen™ CyQUANT™ LDH 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™ SYTOX™ Orange Nucleic Acid Stain - 5 mM Solution in DMSO
Useful as an indicator of cell death
Invitrogen™ Lucifer Yellow CH, Lithium Salt, 25 mg
Lucifer yellow CH, lithium salt is a water-soluble dye with excitation/emission peaks of 428/536 nm.
Invitrogen™ Fluo-4, AM, cell permeant
Fluo-4 is an analog of fluo-3 with the two chlorine substituents replaced by fluorines, which results in increased fluorescence excitation at 488 nm and consequently higher fluorescence signal levels.
Invitrogen™ Phalloidin Labeling Probes
Achieve precise and reliable F-actin staining with fluorescent and biotinylated phalloidins. Phalloidin conjugates are widely used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin in a variety of sample types including fixed and permeabilized cells, tissue sections, and cell-free experiments.
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.
