Two-color, fluorescence-based assay to discriminate between live and dead cells.

 

ION Vital – Viability kit can be used to quantify live and dead cells within eukaryotic cell suspensions or adherent cultures, 3D cultures, organoids, and some non-fixed tissues. Cannot be used for yeast or bacteria. When following our protocol, ION Vital—Viability kit provides enough reagents to make 150 mL of working solution, enough for fifteen 96-well plates or 1,500 flow cytometry samples. The actual number of assays will vary according to optimal dye concentrations for your application.
