Bio-Rad alamarBlue® Cell Proliferation Assay
the fast, non-toxic, simple and reliable cell proliferation and viability reagent
alamarBlue® is a cell proliferation assay that provides a rapid, sensitive and economical way to quantitatively measure cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in various human and animal cell lines. It can also be used to study mycobacteria, bacteria and fungi.
The following features and benefits establish alamarBlue® as a preferred alternative reagent to similar cell proliferation assays (MTT, XTT, 3H Thymidine or neutral red) which will help you to get the results you need:
- Simple : Water soluble, just add and measure the formula in cell cultures
- Flexible: Colorimetric and fluorometric detection, for both suspended and attached cell lines
- Non-toxic: alamarBlue®does not kill cells and is safe to the user and the environment
- Reliable: Highly referenced for cytotoxicity and viability assays
- Scalable: Effortless scale up for high throughput assays
- High Sensitivity: Detects as few as 50 cells
- Stable: Proprietary buffering agents ensures alamarBlue® is suitable for time course studies
- Economical: No cell lysis allows cells to be cultured for subsequent assays
