Cellular Assays
Cellular assays have always been a powerful tool in the research lab. They are incredibly versatile, and can be designed to measure virtually any cellular or biochemical function. Sensitive detection of fluorescent probes aid in evaluating cell signaling and death pathways, which is useful for the rapid quantification of cell viability. Cellular assays can be used to measure the effects of different treatments on cell viability and to evaluate toxic effects mediated through a variety of mechanisms.

CFDA SE Cell proliferation assay kit
Supplier: Biotium
Cell proliferation dyes diffuse passively into cells and covalently label intracellular proteins, resulting in long term cell labelling. They are non-fluorescent until they are hydrolysed by intracellular esterase's. The dyes then react with intracellular amines forming fluorescent conjugates that are retained in the cell. Immediately after staining, a single, bright fluorescent population will be detected by flow cytometry. With each cell division, daughter cells inherit roughly half of the fluorescent label, allowing the number of cell divisions that occur after labelling to be detected by the appearance of successively dimmer fluorescent peaks on a flow cytometry histogram compared to cells analysed immediately after staining. Staining is formaldehyde fixable.
