Free Test Samples Available: AquaBluer – Redox Indicator for Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity

Cytotoxicity refers to the capability of certain chemicals or cells to kill living cells. By using a cytotoxic compound, healthy living cells can either be induced to undergo necrosis (accidental cell death) or apoptosis (programmed cell death).

AquaBluer is a proprietary redox indicator for cell viability and cytotoxicity assays. Viable cells turn AquaBluer from its oxidized form (nonfluorescent, blue) to the reduced form (fluorescent, red). The fluorescence intensity of AquaBluer at 540ex/590em is proportional to the number of viable cells in the sample. It can be used to assess cell viability, cell proliferation, and cytotoxicity. It is nontoxic, simple to use, sensitive, reproducible, and has a broad assay range. Most importantly, it reduces assay costs threefold over Alamar Blue and 23-fold over MTT.

Application

Assessing cell viability, cell proliferation, and cytotoxicity. For in vitro research use only.

Features

• Flexible – AquaBluer is a colorimetric and fluorescent redox indicator. Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays may be performed with a fluorescence plate reader or absorbance plate reader.
• Simple – Assay is performed in culture medium. Just add AquaBluer to the culture, incubate, and read. No PBS, no SDS, and no DMSO.
• Nontoxic, sensitive, reproducible, and with a broad assay range – Not a terminal assay. AquaBluer-treated cells may still be used in other analyses.
• Inexpensive – Costs 3x less than Alamar Blue assay and 26x less than MTT assay.
