CytoSelect™ Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity Assay

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.
