Calcein am pi staining kit

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

The Calcein-AM/PI staining kit is a fluorescent dye-based solution used to detect cell viability and cytotoxicity in cell cultures. The kit contains Calcein-AM, a cell-permeant dye that is converted to a green fluorescent compound by live cells, and Propidium Iodide (PI), a red fluorescent dye that stains the nuclei of dead or membrane-compromised cells. This combination allows for the simultaneous identification of live and dead cells within a sample.

HOS and 143B cells were seeded in 24-well plates (2.5 × 104/well) and cultured overnight. Cis (20 μmol/L), UA (35 μmol/L), or Cis (20 μmol/L)+UA (35 μmol/L) was added to the wells for 24 h. Then, a calcein-AM/PI staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to detect dead and live cells. PI was used to stain dead cells, and calcein-AM was used to stain live cells.

Plumbagin's Cytotoxic Effects on Liver Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Huh-7 and Hep-G2 cells were plated in 96-well plates (2 × 103/well) and treated with plumbagin at indicated concentrations for 12 h. Cell viability was measured using cck-8 kit (GlpBio, Montclair, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions, and the absorbance of each well was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA). The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated.
Calcein-AM/PI staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used for cell viability/cytotoxicity detection. In brief, Huh-7 and Hep-G2 cells were plated on 24-well plates (3000 cells per well) and incubated overnight. Then, cells were treated by PLB at indicated concentrations for 12 h. After treatment, cells were washed by PBS and stained with Calcein-AM/PI detection buffer for 30 min. After staining, cells were washed twice with PBS buffer and observed under fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Cell Viability Determination of SVF-derived Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SVF-gel and TE-SVF-gel was first liquefied by adjusting the temperature to 37°C in incubator. Following liquefaction, the SVF-gel and TE-SVF-gel was added to saline solution. The mixture was then centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min to collect the cells. The viability of the cells was assessed using a Calcein-AM/PI staining kit (Beyotime). In brief, cells were washed with PBS and then incubated with a staining solution containing Calcein-AM and propidium iodide (PI) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 30 min at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. Following incubation, cells were washed twice with PBS to remove excess dye. Live cells, characterized by their ability to convert non-fluorescent calcein-AM into green-fluorescent calcein, and dead cells, identified by their permeability to PI which intercalated into DNA and RNA to emit red fluorescence, were visualized under a confocal fluorescence microscope. The number of live and dead cells was counted in three random fields per well, and the percentage of viable cells was calculated as (number of live cells/total number of cells) × 100% (Liu et al., 2020 (link)).

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.
