Apexbio Technology LLC Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay Kit 500T

Supplier:  Apexbio Technology LLC K2231500

The Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay Kit employs calcein AM a cell-permeable fluorescent probe for assessing viable cell populations Calcein AM readily crosses membranes due to its hydrophobic acetoxymethyl (AM) modification Within viable cells intracellular esterases cleave calcein AM releasing calcein a fluorescent molecule retained by healthy cells emitting green fluorescence proportional to viable cell numbers Cells lacking this enzymatic activity typically dead or compromised remain unstained This assay is commonly applied in studies evaluating cell proliferation cytotoxicity or cell survival under various experimental conditions Compared to assays such as MTT and CCK-8 the calcein AM method allows detection of smaller cell populations often down to approximately 50 cells and provides results within approximately 30 minutes after treatment
