EarlyTox™ Cell Viability Assay Kits are a family of fluorescence-based reagents for the assessment of cell viability, cell proliferation, and various apoptosis events using mammalian cells. Optimised for use with microplate readers, these assay kits employ a no-wash, homogeneous assay protocol that enables characterisation of a full concentration-response profile of test compounds.

IPTG (isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside) is an analogue of allolactose that binds specifically to the repressor protein of the lac operon and induces expression of β-galactosidase in Escherichia coli.
IPTG is a commonly used reagent in cloning procedures that require induction of b-galactosidase activity and is used in conjunction with X-Gal in blue-white color selection of recombinant bacterial colonies.
The final concentration typically used in indicator plates is 0.2 mM.

Incucyte® Nuclight rapid red dye for live-cell nuclear labelling was formulated explicitly for cell labelling of living mammalian cells. The dye is a cell-permeable DNA strain that specifically stains nuclei in cells and is ideally suited to the mix-and-read, real-time quantitation.

JC-1 (5,5′,6,6′-Tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine, iodide) is a mitochondrial dye that stains mitochondria in living cells in a membrane potential-dependent fashion. JC-1monomer is in equilibrium with so-called J-aggregates, which are favored at higher dye concentration or higher mitochondrial membrane potential.
