Cell Based Assays
Invitrogen™ CM-H2DCFDA (General Oxidative Stress Indicator)
General oxidative stress indicator
Invitrogen™ CyQUANT™ Cell Proliferation Assays
CyQUANT cell proliferation assays are fast and highly sensitive fluorescence methods for counting cells to assess cell growth and cytotoxicity in microplate format. These assays use fluorescent nucleic-acid-binding dyes to measure cell number based on DNA content.
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Cell Imaging Kit (488/570)
Sensitive two-color fluorescence cell viability assay optimized for FITC and Texas Red™ filters
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™ JC-1 Dye (Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Probe)
Sensitive marker for mitochondrial membrane potential
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Viability/Cytotoxicity Kit, for mammalian cells
Useful with a variety of fluorescence-detection methodologies
Invitrogen™ Calcein AM, Cell-permeant Green and Blue Dyes
Calcein AM is a cell-permeant dye that can be used to determine cell viability in most eukaryotic cells. In live cells, the non-fluorescent Calcein AM is converted to green or blue fluorescent Calcein, after acetoxymethyl ester hydrolysis by intracellular esterases.
Invitrogen™ Tetramethylrhodamine, Methyl Ester, Perchlorate (TMRM)
For use with fluorescence microscopy
Molecular Probes™ Propidium Iodide - 1.0 mg/mL Solution in Water
Propidium Iodide - 1.0 mg/mL Solution in Water
Invitrogen™ CyQUANT™ LDH and G6PD 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™ LysoTracker™ Deep Red
Deep red-fluorescent dye for labeling and tracking acidic organelles in live cells
Invitrogen™ SYTO™ Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains
SYTO Green Fluorescent Nucleic Acid Stains exhibit bright, green fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids. These dyes are cell-permeant and can be used to stain RNA and DNA in live cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Invitrogen™ NucBlue™ Fixed Cell ReadyProbes™ Reagent (DAPI)
High-purity form of DAPI stain in room temperature-stable solution that is provided in dropper bottle
Invitrogen™ LysoTracker™ Red DND-99, special packaging
Red-fluorescent dye for labeling and tracking acidic organelles in live cells
Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Violet Dead Cell Stain Kit, for 405 nm excitation
The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Violet Dead Cell Stain Kit is used to determine the viability of cells prior to the fixation and permeabilization required for intracellular antibody staining, or prior to elimination of biohazardous materials using formaldehyde fixation.
