Viability Using Trypan Blue
Ideal for clean samples, the Trypan Blue exclusion assay provides viability by determining dead cells from total cells counted.
Viability Using AO/PI
Acridine Orange and Propidium Iodide are nuclear stains that are able to provide viability measurements in messy, primary samples.
Comparing Trypan Blue and AO/PI Staining Methods
A head-to-head comparison of viability determined by Trypan Blue and AO/PI.
Induced Necrosis
Measure induced necrosis by staining your cell sample with different membrane exclusion dyes.
Viability Using PI
Directly measure the number of dead cells and percent viability by staining your samples with propidium iodide.
Alternative Membrane Exclusion Dyes
Using 7AAD, SYTOX Green, Ethidium Bromide, SYTOX Red, DRAQ7 and DAPI for viability measurements.
