alamarBlue — Cell Proliferation Assay
The Fast, Non-Toxic, Simple, and Reliable Cell Proliferation and Viability Reagent
Tips and Advice for Using alamarBlue | Read More
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.
Sizes Available
alamarBlue can be used for applications such as functional assays, immunofluorescence, and ELISA.
This reagent is offered in two sizes:
Note: Calculations assume 100 µL final volume per well (96-well plate).
Why Use alamarBlue?
The very popular alamarBlue is a preferred alternative to other cell proliferation assays (for instance MTT, XTT, 3H-thymidine, or neutral red).
Try alamarBlue 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
- Scalable: effortless scale up for high-throughput assays
- Stable: proprietary buffering agents ensures alamarBlue is suitable for time course studies
- Economical: no cell lysis allows cells to be cultured for subsequent assays
- Reliable: highly referenced for cytotoxicity and viability assays
- High sensitivity: detects as few as 50 cells
- Non-toxic: alamarBlue does not kill cells and is safe to the user and the environment

Cell Proliferation Products and Tips
Cell proliferation is a homeostatic process that involves the rapid growth and division of cells. If not properly controlled, it can lead to an unchecked increase in cell numbers, which may result in diseases such as cancer. Therefore, evaluating proliferation is crucial across various scientific fields.
This guide provides the knowledge you need to effectively study cell proliferation in your assays.
