Cell Function Reagents and Kits
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Viability/Cytotoxicity Kit, for mammalian cells
Useful with a variety of fluorescence-detection methodologies
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™ LIVE/DEAD™ Sperm Viability Kit
Assay for viability and fertilizing potential of sperm
Molecular Probes™ pHrodo™ Green S. aureus BioParticles™ Phagocytosis Kit for Flow Cytometry
pHrodo™ Green S. aureus BioParticles™ Phagocytosis Kit for Flow Cytometry
Invitrogen™ Amplex™ Red Phospholipase D Assay Kit
Detect phospholipase D activity levels as low as 10U/mL
Invitrogen™ HCS LipidTOX™ Green Phospholipidosis Detection Reagent (1000X), for cellular imaging
Easily detected by fluorescence microscopy
Invitrogen™ Staphylococcus aureus (Wood strain without protein A) BioParticles™, fluorescein conjugate
Fluorescently labeled, heat- or chemically killed bacteria and yeast in a variety of sizes, shapes, and natural antigenicities
Invitrogen™ Fluo-5F, AM, cell permeant - Special Packaging
Analog of fluo-4 with lower Ca2+-binding affinity, making it suitable for detecting intracellular calcium levels in 1μM to 1mM range that would saturate response of fluo-3 and fluo-4
Invitrogen™ PiPer™ Pyrophosphate or Phosphate Assay Kit
The PiPer Pyrophosphate Assay Kit provides reagents for fluorogenic or colorimetric detection as low as 0.4 μM (fluorescence) or 2 μM (absorbance) inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). The Phosphate Assay Kit can detect down to 0.2 μM Pi in purified enzyme systems. Each kit is sufficient for 1000 labelings.
Invitrogen™ ReadyProbes™ Cell Viability Imaging Kit, Blue/Green
Determine the viability of cells quickly and easily. Invitrogen™ ReadyProbes™ Cell Viability Imaging Kit, Blue/Green is a ready-to-use assay kit for use in for fluorescence microscopy, fluorescence microplate readers, and flow cytometry.
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™ eBioscience™ Calcein Blue AM Viability Dye
Membrane-permeable live-cell labeling dye. Upon entering the cell, intracellular esterases cleave the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester group, yielding the membrane-impermeable Calcein Blue fluorescent dye. Apoptotic and dead cells with compromised cell membranes do not retain Calcein Blue.
Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ Indo-1 AM Calcium Sensor Dye (UltraPure Grade)
Membrane-permeable dye used for determining changes in calcium concentrations in the cell using fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microplate readers. Once Indo-1 enters the cell, esterases cleave the AM group yielding a membrane-impermeable dye
Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ Calcium Sensor Dye eFluor™ 514
Membrane-permeable dye used to monitor changes in intracellular free calcium concentrations in the cell. Once eFluor™ 514 Calcium Sensor Dye enters the cell, cellular esterases cleave the AM group yielding a membrane-impermeable dye fluorescing at ≈520nm.
Invitrogen™ eBioscience™ DRAQ5™
Anthraquinone dye with high affinity for double-stranded DNA. It is a membrane-permeable dye that can label live or fixed/dead cells.
