Live & Dead Cell Staining Kit

Performs 300 assays. Kit components include:

• 2 vials (50 uL/vial) Calcein AM, 4mM
• 2 vials (150 uL/vial) Ethidium Homodimer-III (EthD-III), 2 mM

Live & Dead Cell Staining Kit provides a two-color fluorescence staining on live cells ( green ) and dead cells ( Red ) using two probes. Calcein AM stains live cells green while EthD-III stains dead cells red. These probes measure two recognized parameters of cell viability — intracellular esterase activity and plasma membrane integrity. The kit is suitable for use with fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence multi-well plate scanners and flow cytometers. The assay principles are general and applicable to most eukaryotic cell types, including adherent cells and certain tissues, but not to bacteria or yeast. This fluorescence-based method of assessing cell viability can be used in place of trypan blue exclusion, 51 Cr release and similar methods for determining cell viability and cytotoxicity. EthD-III (cat# 40050 and 40051) is a proprietary DNA stain and is a superior alternative to EthD-I offered by our competitor. EthD-III has higher DNA binding affinity and thus brighter fluorescence (40% brighter than Ethidium homodimer I).

Features:

• Dual Detection
  Detect live and dead cells in a cell population simultaneously.
• Simple & Fast
  30 min dye loading and measure without washing.
• Economic
  Perform viability and cytotoxicity assays at the same time.
• Versatile
  Analyzed by flow cytometers, fluorescence microscopes and fluorometric plate readers.
