This NucView™488 and RedDot™2 Apoptosis and Necrosis Assay Kit contains NucView™488 caspase-3 substrate for detection of caspase-3/7 activity. The far-red dead-cell stain RedDot™2 is included for staining necrotic and late apoptotic cells that have compromised plasma membrane integrity. This kit provides a convenient tool for profiling apoptotic and necrotic cell populations by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

MITO-ID® Green Detection Kit is a potent mitochondria-selective dye suitable for live, permeabilised and fixed cell staining.

Supplier: Tonbo Biosciences

Ghost Dye solutions allow for clear live vs. dead cell discrimination for more precise flow cytometry analysis, and are especially useful for intracellular staining protocols.

COMET SCGE Assay measures DNA damage by fluorescently detecting the integrity of DNA liberated from cells embedded in low melting point agarose. Upon electrophoresis, fragmented DNA produces a characteristic "comet" shaped tail as small DNA fragments migrate in the gel more rapidly than in-tact genomic DNA.

NucView® 488 and CF™dye (594, 640R and Texas RED) conjugated annexin V provides two apoptosis events, caspase-3 activity and phosphatidylserine (PS) translocation.

Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences

MITO-ID® Red Detection Kit (GFP-CERTIFIED®) is a photostable, non-toxic and selective mitochondrial dye that stains live, detergent permeabilised and aldehyde fixed cells. This kit is specifically designed for use with GFP expressing cell lines, as well as cells expressing blue, cyan or yellow fluorescent proteins (BFP's, CFP's, YFP's).

CatchPoint™ cGMP Fluorescent Assay Kits measure cGMP levels via a competitive immunoassay format. The second messenger cyclic GMP (cGMP) modulates cellular processes, including smooth muscle relaxation, kidney function, and inflammation, by activating effectors such as protein kinases, cGMP-dependent phosphodiesterases, and cGMP-gated ion channels.

Supplier: Biotium

Wheat germ agglutinin binds specifically to N-acetylglucosamine in the peptidoglycan layer of gram-positive bacteria. The Live Bacterial Gram Stain Kit contains wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) conjugated to CF™594 to stain the surface of gram-positive cells with red fluorescence. The kit also includes DAPI to stain the DNA of all bacteria with blue fluorescence. Gram-positive bacteria stained using this kit will show a fluorescent blue interior and fluorescent red cell surface, while gram-negative bacterial will be stained with blue fluorescence only.

Supplier: Molecular Devices

The SpectraMax® Glo Steady-Luc™ Reporter Assay Kit provides a highly sensitive assay for the quantitation of firefly luciferase expression in mammalian cells. The assay kit is optimised for Molecular Devices SpectraMax® microplate readers with a preconfigured protocol provided in SoftMax® Pro Software for simplified data acquisition and analysis.
