Calcein-AM is a non-fluorescent, hydrophobic compound that easily permeates intact, live cells. The hydrolysis of Calcein-AM by intracellular esterases produces calcein, a hydrophilic, strongly fluorescent compound that is well-retained in the cell cytoplasm. Cells grown in black-walled plates can be stained and quantified in less than two hours. Features: Suitable for proliferating and non-proliferating cells Ideal for both suspension and adherent cells Non-radioactive microplate Rapid (no solubilization step as in an MTT assay) Ideal for high-throughput assays Better retention and brightness compared to other fluorescent compounds (i.e. fluorescein) Useful in a variety of studies, including: cell adhesion, chemotaxis, multidrug resistance, cell viability, apoptosis, and cytotoxicity Adaptable to a wide variety of techniques, including: microplate assays (described here), immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and in vivo cell tracing   Applications: Cell viability assays Cytotoxicity analysis   Components: Part # Component Size   4892-010-01 Calcein AM 50 µg   4892-010-02 10X Calcein AM DW Buffer 200 ml   Storage: Components are stored at -20°C and 4°C.   Top   Ordering Information Catalog #: Price: 4892-010-K Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay Kit, 1000 Tests $185.00 Trevigen Products are now available for ordering through - AND - Download Protocol Related Products XTT Cell Proliferation Assay MTT Cell Proliferation Assay TREVIGEN INC. :: 8405 HELGERMAN CT. :: GAITHERSBURG, MD 20877 1.800.TREVIGEN :: 1.800.873.8443 :: (FAX) 1.301.560.4973 :: INFO@TREVIGEN.COM :: SITE MAP
