Cell Viability, Proliferation & Function
 | Life Technologies™ offers a diverse selection of assays and antibodies for the analysis of apoptosis, cell cycle and DNA repair, cell viability and vitality, proliferation, migration, adhesion, chemotaxis, endo- and exocytosis, and angiogenesis. Many of the assays are fluorescence- or colorimetric-based, offering sensitivity, convenience as well as safety. These products have been validated on multiple instrument platforms including microscopy, flow cytometry, microplate reader, or high content screening.

Apoptosis
 | An extensive portfolio of assays and antibodies for characterizing programmed cell death including determining which cells are apoptotic, live and necrotic. These products can also be used to identify specific apoptotic stages (early, middle and late) through measurement of parameters that include autophagy, cell membrane permeability, mitochondrial dysfunction, caspase activation, and many more. Learn More about: | Products |
Autophagy
 | Cells use autophagy to digest damaged or defective molecules, effectively eliminating the stressors like mis-folded proteins and damaged organelles that can threaten cell health, or in the case of hypoxia and serum starvation, devour existing proteins and organelles to generate key nutrients for survival. It is also closely associated with apoptosis.

Ionic Homeostasis & Signaling
 | Life Technologies™ offers a wide range of Molecular Probes® fluorescent dyes and probes for measuring ionic homeostasis including indicators for calcium, magnesium sodium, potassium, heavy metals and phosphates. Learn more about Ion Indicators > | Products |
Nitro-Oxidative Stress
 | Find products for detection and quantitation of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide and glutathione, including the new MitoSox™ Red mitochondrial superoxide indicator. Learn more about Oxidative Stress Detection | Products |
Cell Metabolism
 | Life Technologies™ has a diverse array of platforms and products for studying cell function and drug, protein, and phosphate metabolic processes. These products include ion sensors, free radical generators and detectors. | Products |
Cell Adhesion
 | Regulated adhesion of cells to substrates and tissues is critical in development and many disease processes. Products found here can easily label cells and thus help determine the number, shape and, in many cases, the vitality of cells attached to matrix proteins or cells. In addition products that monitor matrix protein degrading enzymes are included along with antibodies to critical proteins in the adhesion cascade.
| Products |
Chemotaxis & Cell Migration
 | Cell movement that occurs during processes like angiogenesis, metastasis or lymphocyte extravastion can be studied using fluorescent cell stains, recombinant cytokines that regulate these functions and antibodies to target proteins critical to these processes.
| Products |
Endocytosis, Exocytosis & Phagocytosis
 | We offer a wide range of products for understanding the processes of endocytosis, exocytosis, and phagocytosis. These include the new pH- sensitive pHrodo™ dyes and conjugates, fluorescently labeled bioparticles, ligands and tracers as well as fluorescent microspheres.
