El kit de citotoxicidad/viabilidad LIVE/DEAD® es un ensayo de dos colores rápido y sencillo para determinar la viabilidad de las células en una población basada en la actividad de la esterasa y la integridad de la membrana plasmática. El kit puede utilizarse en citometrías de flujo, microscopía de fluorescencia y lectores de microplacas de fluorescencia.

Las ventajas en comparación con otros métodos incluyen:


•  Más rápido
•  Más seguro
•  Más sensible
•  Más barato

Fácil de usar con una amplia variedad de técnicas y tipos celulares
La actividad de la esterasa intracelular ubicua y una membrana plasmática intacta son características distintivas de las células vivas. El kit de citotoxicidad/viabilidad LIVE/DEAD® discrimina rápidamente las células vivas de las muertas mediante la tinción simultánea con calceína AM verde fluorescente para indicar actividad de esterasa intracelular y homodímero-1 de etidio rojo fluorescente para indicar la pérdida de integridad de la membrana plasmática. Se puede adaptar a la mayoría de las células eucarióticas en las que las condiciones citotóxicas producen estos efectos celulares. El ensayo es útil con una variedad de metodologías de detección de fluorescencia.

Sensible, seguro y eficiente

El kit de viabilidad/citotoxicidad LIVE/DEAD® es más sensible que la exclusión azul de tripano, un método comúnmente utilizado para la discriminación de células vivas/muertas. El kit de citotoxicidad/viabilidad LIVE/DEAD® es rentable y muy sensible debido a la brillante fluorescencia de ambos colorantes al interactuar con las células vivas (calceína AM) o muertas (homodímero-1 de etidio). Los niveles de fondo son bajos debido al hecho de que ambos colorantes son prácticamente no fluorescentes antes de interactuar con las células.

Hay ensayos LIVE/DEAD® disponibles para una amplia gama de aplicaciones
Se ofrece una selección de ensayos de viabilidad Invitrogen LIVE/DEAD® para células de mamíferos, bacterias, levaduras y hongos, así como kits de tinción de células muertas fijables para su uso en tinción intracelular para citometría de flujo. Todos los ensayos LIVE/DEAD® proporcionan una discriminación rápida y positiva entre células viables y no viables.

Preguntas frecuentes

I need to use a dead cell control for my viability assay. Do you have a protocol for killing cells for this?

Heat killing is commonly used. Place your cells in a tube in buffer and heat at 60oC for 20 minutes. You can also kill your cells by fixing them with ice cold 70% ethanol for 15 minutes. The ethanol-killed cells can then be stored at -20oC until needed, at which point you wash out the ethanol and replace with buffer.

I am doing a Live/Dead assay using Calcein, AM, for live cells and ethidium homodimer-1 for dead cells. Can I fix the cells after labeling and retain the staining?

This is not recommended. Neither Calcein nor ethidium homodimer-1 bind to any cellular components upon fixation. There is no guarantee that the dyes will be retained upon fixation or any subsequent wash steps. We recommend scoring for live and dead cells as soon as possible after staining.

How should I store the LIVE/DEAD Viability/Cytotoxicity Kit, for mammalian cells (Cat. No. L3224)?

We recommend storing the LIVE/DEAD Viability/Cytotoxicity Kit, for mammalian cells (Cat. No. L3224) in the freezer at -5 degrees C to -30 degrees C and protected from light.

What fluorescent viability assays can I use on the Countess II FL automated cell counter?

We have validated the following kits for use on the Countess II FL Automated Cell Counter:

LIVE/DEAD Viabilty/Cytoxicity Kit (Cat. No. L3224) containing calcein AM and ethidium homodimer-1
ReadyProbes Cell Viability Imaging Kit, Blue/Green (Cat. No. R37609)

How do I prepare dead cell controls for LIVE/DEAD cell viability assays?

There are two easy options. One is to heat-inactivate the cells by placing at 60 degrees C for 20 minutes. The second is to subject the cells to 70% ethanol. Alcohol-fixed cells can be stored indefinitely in the freezer until use, potentially up to several years.

Centrifuge cells, pellet, and remove supernatant.
Fix cells: Add 10 mL ice cold 70% ETOH to a 15 mL tube containing the cell pellet, adding dropwise at first while vortexing, mix well.
Store in freezer until use.
When ready to use, wash twice and resuspend in buffer of choice.
