What does CyQUANT measure?
The CyQUANT® Cell Proliferation Assay is a highly sensitive fluorescence-based method for quantifying cells and assessing cell proliferation and cytotoxicity.
How does the CyQUANT assay work?
The CyQUANT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit from Life Technologies is a sensitive, rapid and convenient way to quantitate cell growth using a fluorescence microplate reader. CyQUANT GR dye binds to cellular nucleic acids, allowing cell numbers to be calculated from a standard curve.
What is cell proliferation assay?
Cell proliferation assays typically detect changes in the number of cells in a division or changes in a cell population. Cell proliferation assays are mainly divided into four methods: metabolic activity assays, cell proliferation marker assays, ATP concentration assays, and DNA synthesis assays.
How is proliferation measured in IVF?
Besides overall metabolic activity, cell proliferation may be measured by examining one or more specific markers within a cell. A well-published example is the BrdU incorporation assay. In this assay, cells are treated with BrdU, a thymidine analog that is incorporated into the DNA during cell proliferation.
What is MTS reagent?
Details. MTS reagent is a tetrazolium inner salt useful for determining the number of viable cells in proliferation or chemosensitivity assays. MTS is bioreduced by cells into a colored formazan product that is soluble in tissue culture medium.
What is MTS cell proliferation?
The MTS Cell Proliferation Assay Kit is a colorimetric method for sensitive quantification of viable cells in proliferation and cytotoxicity assay. The method is based on the reduction of MTS tetrazolium compound by viable cells to generate a colored formazan product that is soluble in cell culture media.
How do I check my proliferation?
Assays for cell proliferation may monitor the number of cells over time, the number of cellular divisions, metabolic activity, or DNA synthesis. Cell counting using viability dyes such as trypan blue or Calcein-AM can provide both the rate of proliferation as well as the percentage of viable cells.
How do you calculate proliferation?
Proliferation index is calculated as the sum of the cells in all generations including the parental divided by the computed number of original parent cells theoretically present at the start of the experiment. It is a measure of the fold increase in cell number in the culture over the course of the experiment.
What is Alamar blue assay?
alamarBlue is a cell proliferation assay that provides a rapid, sensitive, and economical way to quantitatively measure cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in various human and animal cell lines. It can also be used to study mycobacteria, bacteria, and fungi.
