Cell Based Assays
Invitrogen™ Monomeric Cyanine Nucleic Acid Stains
Monomeric Cyanine Nucleic Acid stains are five spectrally distinct dyes for ultrasensitive fluorescence detection of nucleic acid in imaging and flow cytometry. They have bright fluorescence signals, low background, and strong binding affinity with nucleic acid.
Invitrogen™ Rhod-2, AM, cell permeant
Cells may be loaded with AM ester forms of these calcium indicators by adding dissolved indicator directly to dishes containing cultured cells
Invitrogen™ Propidium Iodide Ready Flow™ Reagent
Propidium Iodide Ready Flow™ Reagent is a bright, easy-to-use nucleic acid stain for distinguishing dead cells from live cells in flow cytometry assays.
Invitrogen™ BAPTA, Tetracesium Salt, cell impermeant
A cell-impermeant chelator, which is a highly selective for Ca2+ over mg2+
Invitrogen™ SYTO™ Deep Red Nucleic Acid Stain, for live cells
SYTO Deep Red Nucleic Acid Stain is cell-permeant dye that specifically stains the nuclei of live, dead, or fixed cells.
Invitrogen™ Dextran, Texas Red™, 70,000 MW, Lysine Fixable
Rigorous methods for removing as much unconjugated dye as practical, followed by an assay of dextran conjugates by thin-layer chromatography to help ensure the absence of low molecular weight contaminants
Invitrogen™ NeuroTrace™ 500/525 Green Fluorescent Nissl Stain - Solution in DMSO
Binds to Nissl substance, which is present exclusively in somata of neuronal cells
Invitrogen™ Dextran, Texas Red™, 3000 MW, Lysine Fixable
Rigorous methods for removing as much unconjugated dye as practical, followed by assay of dextran conjugates by thin-layer chromatography to help ensure absence of low molecular weight contaminants
Invitrogen™ DRAQ7™ Dye
DRAQ7 Dye is a bright, easy-to-use fluorescent DNA dye used to exclude non-viable cells by flow cytometry.
Invitrogen™ DiD' solid; DiIC18(5) solid (1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-Tetramethylindodicarbocyanine, 4-Chlorobenzenesulfonate Salt)
When applied to cells, dye diffuses laterally within the plasma membrane
Invitrogen™ Dextran, Texas Red™, 10,000 MW, Lysine Fixable
Rigorous methods for removing as much unconjugated dye as practical, followed by an assay of dextran conjugates by thin-layer chromatography to help ensure the absence of low molecular weight contaminants
