Calcein am pi staining kit

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Calcein AM/PI staining kit is a laboratory tool used for live/dead cell staining. It contains Calcein AM, a fluorescent dye that is absorbed by live cells, and Propidium Iodide (PI), a stain that enters only dead or damaged cells. This kit enables researchers to distinguish between viable and non-viable cells in a sample.

DPPC, cholesterol, and 4-ATP were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). DOX was obtained from Cayman Chemicals (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Tetrachloroauric acid trihydrate (HAuCl4·3H2O), AA, HA, and calcein AM/PI staining kit were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (St Louis, MO). All chemicals were used as received without further treatment.

Cell Viability Assessment of Hydrogels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell viability of the hydrogels toward mouse fibroblast (L929), human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), RA synovial fibroblast (RA-FLS), and macrophage cell line RAW264.7 (104 ​cells per well) were evaluated by using a standard 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay (Solarbio, China). Cells were cocultured with Nap-GFFY, Nap-GDFDFDY, MTX-GFFY, MTX-GDFDFDY, and MTX with various concentrations (200, 100, 50, 10, 5, 0 ​μM), respectively, for 48 ​h. Then MTT assay was performed and the absorbance at 490 ​nm was measured using a microplate reader. Cell viability was also evaluated by Live/dead staining. After cocultured with the hydrogels or MTX (100 ​μM) for 48 ​h cells were stained with Calcein AM/PI staining kit (Sigma, USA) and then observed by a fluorescence microscope (Leica, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
