Love the new! CyQuantiFluor™ Cell Viability Assay Kit
The CyQuantiFluor™ Cell Viability Assay Kit is a homogeneous detection kit based on DNA-specific fluorescent dyes. Its core principle is: DNA-binding dyes can penetrate the membranes of live cells and bind to nuclear DNA to produce strong fluorescence, with fluorescence intensity proportional to the number of viable cells; background-shielding dyes cannot enter live cells but can block fluorescence signals from DNA released by dead cells and extracellular DNA, ensuring detection specificity. This method does not rely on cellular metabolic state and directly quantifies the DNA content of live cells, offering advantages such as simple operation (one-step addition), high signal-to-noise ratio, and excellent stability. It is suitable for tumor cell proliferation assays and high-throughput compound screening.
