Cell Viability Assay Kits

Cell viability assays are used for determining the health, vitality, and metabolic activity of cells after various treatments or interventions. These assays play a crucial role in biomedical research, providing accurate insights into how cells respond to drugs, environmental changes, or other external factors. By differentiating between living and dead cells, researchers can make informed decisions on therapeutic applications and drug efficacy.

Cell Viability Assay Kit

Our Cell Viability Assay Kit boasts optimal sensitivity and compatibility with all culture media. Designed for high-throughput screening, it's ideal for 96-well and 384-well plates. The non-radioactive kit can accurately quantify as few as 100 cells and process thousands of samples daily. The streamlined "mix-incubate-measure" approach eliminates tedious steps, with consistent Z' factors of 0.6 to 0.9 observed.

Safe Non-radioactive assay
Convenient No wash and reagent transfer steps

Cytotoxicity Assay Kits

Cytotoxicity assay kits are used to evaluate the potential of substances to cause cell death. Cytotoxicity assays play a pivotal role in drug development and toxicity testing. Whether you're looking at a generic cytotoxicity assay or more specialized assays such as the LDH or MTT assays, ensuring accuracy and reliability is crucial.

Detection Luminometric
Safe Non-radioactive assay
Sensitive As low as 50 cells can be quantified

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay Kit

Our Cell Cytotoxicity Assay Kit swiftly gauges cell cytotoxicity by measuring intracellular ATP levels. Utilizing bioluminescence, the kit releases ATP from lysed cells which, when combined with luciferase, emits light—directly indicating the count of living cells. This non-radioactive, efficient kit is tailored for high-throughput applications, compatible with both 96-well and 384-well plates. The simplified "mix-incubate-measure" procedure ensures precision, quantifying as low as 50 cells, making it a pivotal tool for precise research and drug discovery.

LDH Cytotoxicity Assay Kit

Our LDH Cytotoxicity Assay Kit offers a colorimetric method to swiftly detect cytotoxic effects by measuring LDH release from damaged cells. The "mix-incubate-measure" process, compatible with 96-well plates, provides accurate results in just 20 minutes. Using the conversion of lactate to pyruvate, the intensity of the resulting formazan dye indicates the level of cytotoxicity, making it an efficient and non-radioactive evaluation tool.

Simple Easy to follow protocol
Convenient 500 or 1000 assays

MTT Cytotoxicity Assay Kit

The MTT Cytotoxicity Kit is a sensitive tool for detecting cell cytotoxicity and proliferation. Using MTT, which turns into purple formazan in the presence of mitochondrial dehydrogenases, it visually reflects cell health: deeper shades signify rapid proliferation, while lighter ones indicate cytotoxicity. Designed for 96-well plates, the assay involves adding MTT, culturing, and measuring absorbance at 570 nm.

Proliferation Assay Kits

Cell proliferation assay kits are vital tools, enabling researchers to assess cell growth rates and the effect of various treatments on cell division. From the classic MTT assay to the advanced CCK-8 and WST-8 assays, understanding the dynamics of cell multiplication becomes significantly simplified with our range of proliferation assays!

CCK8 Cell Proliferation Assay Kit

Our WST-8/CCK8 Assay is designed for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection. Using the WST-8 compound, which is similar to MTT, it produces an orange formazan when reduced by mitochondrial dehydrogenases. The formazan's quantity directly corresponds to the number of live cells. Absorbance is measured at 450 nm with a microplate reader to indirectly calculate cell count.

MTT Proliferation Assay Kit

The MTT Proliferation Kit is a sensitive tool for detecting cell proliferation or cytotoxicity. Using MTT, which turns into purple formazan in the presence of mitochondrial dehydrogenases, it visually reflects cell health: deeper shades signify rapid proliferation, while lighter ones indicate cytotoxicity. Designed for 96-well plates, the assay involves adding MTT, culturing, and measuring absorbance at 570 nm.

Live Cell Proliferation Assay

Our Live Cell Proliferation Assay Kit is a two-color fluorescence method distinguishing live cells (green) and dead cells (red). Calcein AM penetrates live cells, transforming into green-fluorescent Calcein due to internal esterases, while Ethidium homodimer I (EthD-I) highlights dead or dying cells with red fluorescence upon DNA binding. This versatile kit is suited for fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and plate readers. It is ideal for eukaryotic cells, 3D cultures, and organoids and provides reagents for fifteen 96-well plates or 1,500 flow cytometry samples
