Calcein am pi double staining kit

Manufactured by Solarbio
Sourced in China, Japan

The Calcein-AM/PI double staining kit is a laboratory tool used for cell viability assessment. It contains Calcein-AM and Propidium Iodide (PI) dyes, which are used to identify live and dead cells, respectively, in a sample. The kit provides a simple and reliable method to differentiate between viable and non-viable cells.

Viability Assessment of BMSCs on Scaffolds

BMSCs were seeded on the scaffolds (5 × 105 cells/scaffold) in 96-well plates. After 3 days of incubation at 37 °C and 5% CO2, the scaffolds were stained with a Calcein-AM/PI double staining kit (Solarbio). According to the instructions, the scaffolds were rinsed with PBS, stained with dye solution for 20 min in the dark. At the wavelength of 490 ± 10 nm, Calcein-AM detected yellow-green living cells, and propidium iodide (PI) detected red dead cells. The number and proportion of living and dead cells on the scaffold were analyzed by a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 780, AxioObserver, Zeiss).

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Biomaterials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To quantitatively evaluate the cytotoxicity of the samples, BMSCs were quantified by the CCK-8 assay and the fluorescent staining method. Cells were seeded on the samples (CaP, LF-L, LF-M, and LF-H) with a cell density of 2 × 104 cells/mL; the samples were investigated by CCK-8 assay after being cultured for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. Briefly, BMSCs were rinsed by PBS twice and 300 mL of new culture medium with 30 mL of CCK-8 solution was added to each sample. After incubating at 37 °C for 2 h, the absorbance was examined on a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. Cellular toxicity was also evaluated by a Calcein-AM/PI double-staining kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). After incubation for 1 or 3 days, the BMSCs on the Ti plates were stained by calcein-AM and propidium iodide following the manufacturer’s instructions and observed by IFM. Live and dead cells appeared as green and red, respectively. For the quantitative analysis, the live/dead cells of each group were counted in random fields (n = 5) with equal areas in the fluorescent images and the cell viability was calculated accordingly. The experiments were conducted in triplicate.

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.
