Cell viability indicates the percentage of living cells capable of maintaining essential functions, while cell death refers to the irreversible loss of these functions through processes such as apoptosis or necrosis. Together, these parameters are fundamental for studying cell health, toxicity, and therapeutic effects.
Key Products
Biotium offers a wide-selection of assay kits for cell viability and cell death. These kits feature a variety of formats enabling comprehensive analysis of cell health and cytotoxicity
They include caspase substrates, Annexin V conjugates, DNA fragmentation assays, and fluorescent dyes, enabling researchers to study apoptosis mechanisms, cellular responses, and drug effects with precision.
These assays employ metabolic, colorimetric, or fluorescent methods to quantify viable cells and proliferation, supporting research in cell biology, toxicology, and drug development.
They are are fluorescent dyes that selectively penetrate cells with compromised membranes, marking non-viable or dead cells
These products enable the assessment of live microorganisms by detecting traits such as metabolic activity, membrane integrity, and reproductive ability. Browse now
