Cell Based Assays
Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Cell Imaging Kit (488/570)
Sensitive two-color fluorescence cell viability assay optimized for FITC and Texas Red™ filters
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™ 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.
Molecular Probes™ LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit, for 405 nm excitation
The LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Aqua 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.
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.
Molecular Probes™ 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™ Click-iT™ EdU Cell Proliferation Kit for Imaging, Alexa Fluor™ 647 dye
Works the first time, every time, in less time
Invitrogen™ Amplex™ Red and Amplex™ UltraRed Reagents
The Amplex Red and UltraRed reagents are fluorogenic substrates for peroxidase. These highly sensitive and stable probes react with H2O2 in the presence of HRP for solution-based assays and ELISAs. Amplex UltraRed is a brighter version of Amplex Red with an improved pH range and sensitivity.
Molecular Probes™ 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™ 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™ H2DCFDA (H2-DCF, DCF)
Chemically reduced form of fluorescein used as an indicator for reactive oxygen species in cells
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
Invitrogen™ ReadyProbes™ F-Actin Labeling Reagents
ActinRed™ and ActinGreen™ ReadyProbes™ reagents assist with bright, selective F-actin labeling in fixed cells and tissues. The ready-to-use dropper or dual-use bottle enables dropwise dispensing or direct pipetting for fast, flexible cytoskeleton imaging.
Invitrogen™ Image-iT™ TMRM Reagent (mitochondrial membrane potential indicator)
Healthy mitochondrial membranes maintain a difference in electrical potential between the interior and exterior of the organelle, referred to as a membrane potential.
Invitrogen™ CellTrace™ CFSE Cell Proliferation Kit, for flow cytometry
CellTrace™ CFSE Cell Proliferation Kit is used for in vitro and in vivo labeling of cells to trace multiple generations using dye dilution by flow cytometry.
