Invitrogen™ Vybrant™ Cell Metabolic Assay Kit, with C12-resazurin
Description
In the Vybrant™ Cell Metabolic Assay Kit, nonfluorescent C12-resazurin is reduced to fluorescent C12-resorufin by viable cells. The resulting signal is proportional to the number of cells present. C12-resazurin has better cellular retention than alamarBlue™ dye and can be multiplexed with viability indicators and other biomarkers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
alamarBlue reagent and PrestoBlue reagent contain resazurin in a proprietary stabilizing formulation that allows for a convenient mix, incubate, and read protocol. PrestoBlue reagent is an improvement in the formulation of alamarBlue reagent that allows for much faster staining (typically 10 minutes vs. 1-4 hours to obtain a similar signal and sensitivity). C12-resazurin is a derivative of resazurin that has better cellular retention and thus allows for analysis on a flow cytometer and multiplexing with viability indicators and other biomarkers.
The absorbance/emission is 563/587 nm.
