Calcein am pi staining kit
The Calcein-AM/PI staining kit is a fluorescent dye-based assay designed to assess cell viability. The kit contains Calcein-AM, a non-fluorescent, cell-permeable compound that becomes fluorescent upon hydrolysis by intracellular esterases, and Propidium Iodide (PI), a dye that can only enter cells with compromised membranes. Together, these two dyes allow for the differentiation between live (Calcein-AM positive) and dead (PI positive) cells.

Cell Culture and Staining Protocols
Assessing Isolated Cancer Cell Viability
was used to assay the viability of isolated cancer cells. Live cells
and dead cells showed green and red fluorescence, respectively. For
the verification of cell proliferation ability before and after filtration,
the isolated cancer cells were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified
incubator (5% CO2). The number of cells was counted at
days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the growth curve was plotted and fit by
a growth formula.
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.
