Application and Effect
Cell Viability Assays: Trypan Blue is commonly used in cell viability assays to determine the number of viable cells in a given sample. Viable cells exclude the dye and appear transparent, while non-viable cells take up the dye, turning them blue. By staining dead cells, researchers can assess the percentage of viable cells and determine cell viability or cytotoxicity. Cell Counting: Trypan Blue can be used for accurate cell counting by differentiating living from dead cells. By staining non-viable cells, researchers can exclude them from the cell count, providing more accurate and reliable results. Identification of Dead Cells: Trypan Blue helps identify dead cells or non-viable cell populations in cultures or tissue samples. Researchers can easily distinguish healthy and dead cells under a microscope by the blue staining of non-viable cells. Cell Sorting/Cell Purification: Trypan Blue staining is sometimes used as a preliminary step for cell sorting or cell purification methods. By staining dead cells, researchers can selectively remove non-viable cells, increasing the purity of the desired cell population. Quality Control in Cell Culture: Trypan Blue is utilized for quality control purposes in cell culture labs. By regularly assessing cell viability, researchers can monitor the health and quality of cultured cells and detect any potential contamination or cellular stress.Product Packing:
