Molecular Probes™ PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent

Description

• Get high quality cell viability results and instant time savings with PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent
• PrestoBlue™ is a ready to use cell permeable resazurin-based solution that functions as a cell viability indicator by using the reducing power of living cells to quantitatively measure the proliferation of cells
• When added to cells, the PrestoBlue™ reagent is modified by the reducing environment of the viable cell and turns red in color, becoming highly fluorescent
• This color change can be detected using fluorescence or absorbance measurements
• The PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent allows you to: Save time with an incubation step as short as 10 minutes
• Obtain high quality results with a large dynamic range Experience convenience with the add and read homogenous format Monitor living cells and perform downstream functional assays 10-minute Incubations The PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent is the only live-cell viability reagent on the market able to provide robust data typically in as little as 10 minutes following reagent addition
• All other resazurin-based cell viability reagents on the market require a one to four hour incubation with the reagent prior to obtaining data
• High Quality Results Based on the cell type and incubation time, PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent can detect as few as 12 cells per well in a 384 well plate
• After ten minutes of incubation the PrestoBlue™ Reagent can linearly detect cells down to 98 cells⁄well with a Z’ value of greater than 0.5
• Homogenous Assay Format The PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent is an addition-only reagent
• Without the cell lysis or solubilization steps required by other assays on the market, hands-on time is minimized
• Live Cell Assay The PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent does not require cell lysis
• Cells may be incubated for up to 24 hours in the presence of PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Product
• Simply remove the reagent from the cells and replace it with growth medium for further proliferation.
