Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay Summary

The Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay provides a simple, rapid and accurate method to measure cell viability and/or cytotoxicity.
 

Key Benefits

• Suitable for proliferating and non-proliferating cells.
• Ideal for both suspension and adherent cells.
• Non-radioactive assay.
• Rapid (no solubilization step as in a conventional MTT assay).
• Ideal for high-throughput experiments.
• Better retention and brightness compared to other fluorescent compounds

Why Use the Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay?

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, preferably in black-walled plates, can be stained and quantified in less than two hours. Calcein AM is 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, immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and in vivo cell tracking.

    What is Calcein AM?

    Calcein AM (structure A) is a non-fluorescent, hydrophilic compound that easily permeates intact, live cells. The hydrolysis of Calcein AM by intracellular esterases produces calcein (structure B), 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.
