Description
Utilize a redox-sensitive growth indicator to quantitatively measure cell viability and proliferation using fluorescent or colorimetric detection strategies with Thermo Scientific™ alamarBlue Cell Viability Assay Reagent.
Additional Information and Online Ordering
Highlights:
High sensitivity and linearity – reproducibly detect as few as 50 cells
Quantitative – provides accurate measurement over time
Non-toxic to cells – less likely to interfere with normal metabolism
Scalable – mix–and–read, homogeneous assay enhances speed while minimizing effort
No cell lysis – ideal for use with time course experiments or post–measurement functional assays
Stable – allows for continuous cell growth monitoring over a long period
Flexible – can be used with primary cell lines, adherent or suspension cells, bacteria and fungi
Versatile – allows fluorescent or colorimetric detection methods
Requires:
Fluorescent plate reader for excitation at 530 to 560nm and emission detection at 590nm, or spectrophotometer plate reader capable of reading 570nm and 600nm absorbance.
Recommended for:
- Monitor cell proliferation and cell viability for in vitro cytotoxicity studies (e.g., effects of environmental toxins, cytokines, drugs, siRNA/microRNA)
- Monitor cell viability in real time for 3D tissue engineering applications
