Invitrogen™ CellROX™ Reagent for oxidative stress detection
Description
The CellROX™ Reagents are novel fluorogenic probes for measuring cellular oxidative stress in live cells. These cell-permeant dyes exhibit bright fluorescence upon oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS). (See table below for details of each reagent.)
The CellROX™ reagents are:
- Optimized for detection of oxidative stress in live cells and may be added directly to serum-containing growth media
- Provided as a stable, ready-to-use DMSO solutions with simple protocols, compatible with standard workflows in fluorescence microscopy
- Compatible with a variety of detection platforms, including traditional fluorescence microscopy, high content screening (HCS), and flow cytometry
Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of cells to scavenge them. ROS play an important role in the progression of several diseases, including inflammation, atherosclerosis, aging, and age-related degenerative disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Many dyes that are used on mammalian cells have also been shown to be useful in bacterial cells. For example, CellROX Deep Red Reagent has been shown to work in B. subtilis (see Reference: http://www-brs.ub.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/netahtml/HSS/Diss/RaatschenNadja/diss.pdf). If you are interested in a particular dye, but are not sure if it will work on your bacteria, literature searches are the best way to check to see if it has been tested. If not, then it may be worth testing yourself.
