alamarBlue® Cell Proliferation Assay

The fast, non-toxic, simple and reliable cell proliferation and viability reagent

alamarBlue - Cell Proliferation and Viability Reagent

alamarBlue is a cell proliferation assay that provides a rapid, sensitive and economical way to quantitatively measure cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in various human and animal cell lines. It can also be used to study mycobacteria, bacteria and fungi.

Features / Benefits

The following features and benefits establish alamarBlue as a preferred alternative reagent to similar cell proliferation assays (MTT, XTT, 3H Thymidine or neutral red) which will help you to get the results you need:

Simple : Water soluble, just add and measure the formula in cell cultures
Flexible: Colorimetric and fluorometric detection, for both suspended and attached cell lines
Non-toxic: alamarBlue does not kill cells and is safe to the user and the environment
Reliable: Highly referenced for cytotoxicity and viability assays
Scalable: Effortless scale up for high throughput assays
High Sensitivity: Detects as few as 50 cells
Stable: Proprietary buffering agents ensures alamarBlue is suitable for time course studies
Economical: No cell lysis allows cells to be cultured for subsequent assays
