Determination of cell viability is critical when evaluating the physiological state of cells, such as in response to cytotoxic drugs and environmental factors, or during the progression of cancer and other disease states. R&D Systems offers a variety of reagents for studying cell proliferation, viability, and cytotoxicity including fluorescent and non-fluorescent reporter dyes and MTT assays.
Resazurin
Resazurin is a fluorescent dye for the quantitative measurement of cell proliferation, viability, and cytotoxicity.
MTT Cell Proliferation/Viability Assay
MTT can be used to safely assess cell proliferation, cell viability, and/or cytotoxicity.
TACS XTT Cell Proliferation/Viability Assay
XTT can be used to assay cell proliferation, cell viability, and/or cytotoxicity. The procedure avoids radioactivity and gives reproducible and sensitive results.
Propidium iodide
Red-fluorescent DNA stain; membrane impermeant to live cells.
DAPI
A standard fluorescent DNA stain.
Hoechst 33342
Cell permeable fluorescent DNA stain.
