Cellular Assays

Supplier: Biotium

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.

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.

Stain microtubules in live cells with blue fluorescence.

Supplier: Cayman Chemical

Cayman’s LipidLaunch™ BODIPY SM-102 LNP kit (loadable) provides cargo-ready, empty, BODIPY-labelled SM-102 LNPs. LNPs are capable of rapid encapsulation of nucleic acids, without the need for incubation steps, enabling subsequent delivery to target cells or other downstream research applications. Also demonstrate very low toxicity compared to traditional lipid-based transfection methods.

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).

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.

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.
