Cytoselect Cba-110 Kit

Description: Phagocytosis can be assayed by measuring the engulfment of a cell "substrate". However, traditional assays require tedious cell counting under a microscope. Our CytoSelect 96-Well Phagocytosis Assay, Zymosan Substrate provides a more accurate, user-friendly, high-throughput alternative to the standard phagocytosis assay. The assay may be adapted for use with 24-well or 48-well plates.

Description: The CytoSelect Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity Assay Kit provides a simple format for monitoring cell viability via metabolic activity. Live cells are detected with either MTT (colorimetric detection) or Calcein AM (fluorometric detection). Dead cells are detected by EthD-1 reagent (fluorometric). All 3 detection reagents are included, along with Saponin (a cell death initiator). Prior to the assay, cells may be treated with compounds or agents that affect cell viability. This kit is suitable for eukaryotic cells, not yeast or bacteria.

Description: Cell Biolabs? CytoSelect Cell Proliferation Assay Reagent (Fluorometric) provides a fluorometric format for measuring and monitoring cell proliferation. Cells can be plated and then treated with compounds or agents that affect proliferation.  Cells are then incubated with the proliferation reagent.  Upon entering metabolically active live cells, the non-fluorescent proliferation reagent is converted into a bright red fluorescent form. An increase in cell proliferation is accompanied by increased fluorescent signal, while a decrease in cell proliferation (and signal) can indicate the toxic effects of compounds or suboptimal culture conditions.  The assay principles are basic and can be applied to most eukaryotic cell lines, including adherent and non-adherent cells and certain tissues.  This cell proliferation reagent can be used to detect proliferation in bacteria, yeast, fungi, protozoa as well as cultured mammalian and piscine cells. The kit contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 960 assays in ten 96-well plates or 192 assays in eight 24-well plates.

Description: Cell Biolabs? CytoSelect WST-1 Cell Proliferation Assay Reagent provides a colorimetric format for measuring and monitoring cell proliferation.  The 10 mL volume is sufficient for the evaluation of 960 assays in ten 96-well plates or 192 assays in eight 24-well plates.  Cells can be plated and then treated with compounds or agents that affect proliferation.  Cells are then detected with the proliferation reagent, which is converted in live cells from WST-1 to the formazan form in the presence of cellular NADH and an electron mediator. An increase in cell proliferation is accompanied by increased signal, while a decrease in cell proliferation (and signal) can indicate the toxic effects of compounds or suboptimal culture conditions.  The assay principles are basic and can be applied to most eukaryotic cell lines, including adherent and non-adherent cells and certain tissues.  This cell proliferation reagent can be used to detect proliferation in bacteria, yeast, fungi, protozoa as well as cultured mammalian and piscine cells.

Description: Adhesion to the extraceullular matrix is essential for the survival and propagation of many adherent cells. Apoptosis resulting from the loss of adhesion to the ECM is known as anoikis. Anoikis is involved in the physiological processes of tissue renewal and cell homeostasis. Our CytoSelect Anoikis Assays allow you to quantify and monitor anoikis in cells using a precoated plate. Live cells can be viewed under a microscope and quantified on a plate reader by MTT (colorimetric) or Calcein AM (fluorometric); both reagents are included in the kit. Dead cells are detected with the red EthD-1 reagent, also included.

Description: Our CytoSelect 384-Well Cell Transformation Assay uses a modified soft agar 3D matrix to support the formation of colonies by neoplastic cells. Quantitation of cell transformation is performed on a fluorescence plate reader.

Description: CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Co-Culture System provides a unique platform to monitor direct contact between two cell types in a single well. First, cells are cultured until they form a monolayer around the insert, creating a defined 8 mm cell-free zone. Once the insert is removed, a second cell type may be seeded into the exposed zone. The kit contains proprietary treated inserts and sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 24 samples. The inserts are compatible with most adherent cell types and experimental conditions.

Description: Cell Biolabs? Cell Contraction Assays (Floating Matrix Model) provide a simple, in vitro system to assess cell contractivity and screen cell contraction mediators. The proprietary Cell Contraction Plate eliminates the matrix releasing step of the conventional contraction assay, providing a faster, higher-throughput method to assess cell contraction.

Description: Cell adhesion is a complex process involved in migration/invasion, embryogenesis, wound healing and tissue remodeling. Cells adhere to the extracellular matrix, forming complexes with cytoskeleton components that can affect cell motility, differentiation, proliferation, and survival. Our CytoSelect 48-Well Cell Adhesion Assays provide a fully quantitative method for the evaluation of cell adhesion. The 48-well plate is precoated with Fibronectin.
