Neutral Red Cell Proliferation and Cytotoxicology Assay Kit (OKBB00003)

Neutral Red Cell Proliferation and Cytotoxicology
Assay Kit base on the cells� ability of absorbing
neutral red to detect cell proliferation an
cytotoxicology. Neutral red can be absorded by
alive cells and accumulate in lysome. When cell
proliferation speed up, as the cells become more,
the quantity of neutral red are absorbed more;
once cell was damaged, the ability of absorbing
neutral red may disappear.In this way, we can
judge the situation of cell proliferation an
cytotoxicology. Meanwhile, neutral red also is a
PH indicator. It is red in acid, when PH from 6.8
raise to 8.0, it will turn to yellow. Because nucleus
is acid, it can be stained to yellow. And the
circumstance in lysome is acid either; it can be
stained to red by neutral red.
The molecular formula of neutral red is
C15H17IN4 with 288.8 KDa molecular weight.
This Kit is for 500 times experiment (five
96-wells).
