Viability Using Trypan Blue
Ideal for clean samples, the Trypan Blue exclusion assay provides viability by determining dead cells from total cells counted.

Induced Necrosis
Measure induced necrosis by staining your cell sample with different membrane exclusion dyes.
Learn more
Viability Using PI
Directly measure the number of dead cells and percent viability by staining your samples with propidium iodide.
