Cell Proliferation
New DNA Synthesis
Superior cell proliferation analyses, just a click away: Click-iT® EdU—A superior alternative to tritiated (3H) thymidine or BrdU-based assays for measuring new DNA synthesis by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy or high-throughput imaging (HCS).
DNA Content Count on CyQUANT® when you need an accurate determination of cell number. Because cell DNA content is constant, measuring cell number using DNA provides an accurate indication of relative cell number.

Cell Viability
LIVE/DEAD® Kits for Cell Viability
Invitrogen offers complete solutions for easy, sensitive determination of cell viability, cell vitality and compound cytotoxicity. These fluorescence-based LIVE/DEAD® assays can be used to examine animal cells, bacteria, yeast and fungi. Specific LIVE/DEAD® assays can be used for flow cytometry, microscopy, or microplate formats.
PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent PrestoBlue™ reagent is a resazurin-based solution that functions as a cell viability indicator by using the reducing power of living cells to quantitatively measure the proliferation of cells. This assay is compatible with primary cells and allows for continuous live cell monitoring after measurement of cell viability.
