Cellular Assays
Assay kits for cell health, metabolism, oxidative stress, enzyme activity and reporter gene studies, read on a standard plate reader, flow cytometer or microscope.
Viability, cytotoxicity, proliferation, apoptosis and ferroptosis.
Enzyme activity, mitochondrial complexes, protein, ions and signalling.
Glycolysis, lipids, the TCA cycle, pentose phosphate and urea cycle.
Reactive species, antioxidant defence, lipid peroxidation and ATP.
Cell culture quality control, food analysis and plant research.
Blood and urine chemistry and metabolic disease research.
Screening-ready assays and rapid test strips.
Luciferase systems and supporting reagents for flow and cell assays.
Most kits in this range are read on a microplate reader, and the read-out is stated in the product name. Colorimetric assays need only an absorbance reader and are the simplest to set up. Fluorometric assays are more sensitive and suit low analyte levels or small sample volumes. Luminescent assays, such as ATP and luciferase reporter systems, offer the highest sensitivity and the widest dynamic range.
Flow cytometry and imaging kits, including Annexin V, TUNEL and EdU, report on individual cells and are offered in several fluorophores so they can be fitted into an existing panel. Validated sample types vary by kit and commonly include cultured cells, tissue homogenates, serum, plasma, urine and culture medium; some kits are also validated for plant and food samples.
Most kits need a standard absorbance or fluorescence microplate reader. Luminescent kits need a luminometer or a reader with luminescence detection, and Annexin V, TUNEL and EdU kits are read by flow cytometry or microscopy.
A cell-based assay measures a response in intact, living cells, such as viability or apoptosis. A biochemical assay quantifies a defined molecule or enzyme activity in a lysate, fluid or extract.
It varies by kit and commonly includes cells, tissue, serum, plasma, urine and culture medium. Each product page lists validated sample types.
