Calcein blue, AM – 1 mg

Overview

Calcein blue, AM is a reliable blue fluorescent cell viability indicator designed for researchers and laboratories focused on cell health and viability studies. This potent dye allows for real-time monitoring of live cells based on their ability to retain the non-permeable form of the dye. Once taken up by viable cells, Calcein blue provides a bright blue fluorescence, making it easy to differentiate between living and dead cells. Whether you’re studying apoptosis, cytotoxicity, or cell proliferation, this assay kit can significantly enhance your experiments and results.

Key Features

• Highly sensitive blue fluorescent indicator
• Ideal for live/dead cell assays
• Compatible with various imaging systems
• Straightforward protocol for ease of use
• 500 nm excitation and emission wavelengths

FAQ

How does Calcein blue, AM work?

This cell viability indicator functions by permeating live cells and being converted into a fluorescent form by cellular esterases. Dead cells, however, fail to retain the dye, enabling clear differentiation.

Is Calcein blue, AM compatible with flow cytometry?

Yes, Calcein blue can be employed in flow cytometry applications. This allows for quantitative analysis of cell viability in large populations.

What kind of imaging systems can I use with this indicator?

Calcein blue fluoresces strongly under blue light, making it suitable for use with fluorescence microscopes, imaging systems, and flow cytometers designed for blue fluorescence detection.
