Cellular Assays

Supplier: Cayman Chemical

WST-1 Proliferation Assay Kit provides an easy to use tool for studying the induction and inhibition of cell proliferation in any in vitro model. The assay is based on the reduction of tetrazolium salt WST-1 to soluble formazan by electron transport across the plasma membrane of dividing cells. This kit will also allow investigators to screen drug candidates involved in regulation of cell cycle.

Nerve terminal probes are a series of fluorescent cationic styryl dyes developed to follow synaptic activity. These dyes have a lipophilic tail at one end and a hydrophilic cationically charged head group at the other end. The dyes vary in the number of carbons in the lipophilic tail (m) and the number of double bonds linking the two aromatic rings in the dye (n). AM dyes are similar to FM dyes, but contain an additional formaldehyde-fixable amino group in the cationic head.

CF® dye labeled dextrans could be used as a fluorescent fluid-phase markers to study cell permeability, endocytosis, or mechanisms of biomolecular delivery. The dextran is 150,000 MW, and contains a formaldehyde-fixable free-amine group.

The APO-DIRECT™ reagent kit provides a two color TUNEL (Terminal deoxynucleotide transferase dUTP Nick End Labelling) assay for labeling DNA breaks and total cellular DNA to detect apoptotic cells by flow cytometry. The kit contains the instructions and reagents required for measuring apoptosis in cells including: positive and negative control cells for assessing reagent performance; washing, reaction and rinsing buffers for processing individual steps in the assay; terminal deoxynucleotidyl tranferase enzyme (TdT), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) deoxyuridine triphosphate (FITC-dUTP) for labeling DNA breaks and PI/RNase A solution for counter staining the total DNA.
