Jurkat cells stained with the live/dead assay kit. Jurkat cells treated with a drug to induce cell death were labeled with the live/dead assay stain. Live cells (with esterase activity) stain green and dead cells (compromised plasma membrane) stain red. (A) Field of cells following 10 minute staining in media of live/dead stain. (B)Magnified view showing that in live cells the whole cell is stained green whereas in dead red cells it is the fragmented nuclear DNA that is stained.

Dot plots showing live/dead analysis of vehicle or drug treated Jurkat cells (day 3 of treatment). The indicated drug is used to induce cell death. Live cells are on the y-axis and dead cells are on the x-axis. The red polygongate identifies live cells and the number indicates the percent of live cells.

Product details

Live Dead Assay Kit ab115347 differentially labels live and dead cells with fluorescent dyes with a one-step live dead assay protocol. It is used for the rapid quantitation of cell viability using flow cytometry or fluorescent microscopy.

The Live Dead assay staining solution is a mixture of two fluorescent dyes that differentially label live and dead cells.

The Live cell dye labels intact, viable cells green. It is membrane permeant and non-fluorescent until ubiquitous intracellular esterases remove ester groups and render the molecule fluorescent. The Excitation (max) and Emission(max) are 494nm and 515nm (similar to FITC).

The Dead cell dye labels cells with compromised plasma membranes red. It is membrane-impermeant and binds to DNA with high affinity. Once bound to DNA, the fluorescence increases >30-fold. The Excitation (max) and Emission(max) are 528nm and 617nm.

The Live Dead assay protocol uses a one-step staining procedure that is simple and fast. It can be used directly in cell culture media.

This assay is not suitable for use with fixed cells / cell fixation. The Live Dead assay staining solution provided is sufficient for ~1000 assays. **Related assays** Review the to learn about kits to perform a , and .
