Notes

There are a variety of parameters that can be used to monitor cell viability. The green fluorescent dye used in the kit is a hydrophobic compound. It easily permeates intact live cells and gets enhanced fluorescence upon entering into live cells. The hydrolysis of the non-fluorescent substrate by intracellular esterases generates a strongly green fluorescent hydrophilic product that is well-retained in the cell cytoplasm. The green fluorophore generated by the non-fluorescent substrate used in the kit has the spectral properties of fluorescein at Ex/Em = ~490 nm/520 nm. When well excited with the Argon Laser at 488 nm, the fluorophore emits intense green fluorescence at ~520 nm.ab112122 provides all the essential components with an optimized cell-labeling protocol for fluorescence microplate assays. It can also be used with a fluorescence microscope equipped with a FITC filter set.ab112122 provides an effective tool of labeling cells for fluorescence microplate and microscopic investigations of cellular functions. It is useful for a variety of studies, including cell adhesion, chemotaxis, multidrug resistance, cell viability, apoptosis and cytotoxicity. ab112122 is suitable for proliferating and non-proliferating cells.

    Functional Studies - Cell Viability Assay Kit (Fluorometric - Green) (ab112122)

    CHO-K1 cell number response was measured with ab112122. CHO-K1 cells at 0 to 5,000 cells/well/100 µL were seeded overnight in a black wall/clear bottom 96-well plate. The cells were incubated with 100 µL/well of Green dye-loading solution for 1 hour at 37 °C. The fluorescence intensity was measured at Ex/Em = 490/ 525 nm. The fluorescence intensity was linear (R2 = 1) to the cell number as indicated. The detection limit was 30 cells/well (n=6).
