Cell Proliferation Assays for Flow Cytometry

Cell Proliferation assays are an important set of fluorescence based tests that can monitor cell health and cell division by either evaluating DNA synthesis through thymidine incorporation or population doubling using dye dilution cell tracing stain.  These assays provide a rich data set that can be analyzed to answer complex questions and provide direction for future experimentation.

  • Superior Performance—highly sensitive assays to detect cell division
  • Flexibility—multiple assays and colors available for multi-parametric studies
  • Efficiency—quick, robust, easy to use labeling techniques for multiple cell types
