3 个常见问题解答

Why would I use alamarBlue HS Cell Viability Reagent instead of the original alamarBlue Cell Viability Reagent?

alamarBlue HS Cell Viability Reagent provides a lower background, suitable for analyzing a lower number of cells per well. Also, the removal of impurities in the 'HS' reagent limits any artifacts that may be critical to your cells' viability.

What is the difference between the original alamarBlue Cell Viability Reagent (Cat. Nos. DAL1025, DAL1100) and alamarBlue HS Cell Viability Reagent (Cat. Nos. A50100, A50101)?

Both products utilize resazurin as the indicator dye. alamarBlue HS Cell Viability Reagent undergoes a purification process that removes any residual resorufin that may be present from the standard manufacturing process for resazurin. This purification results in a product that has very low background. alamarBlue HS Cell Viability Reagent may be used on samples with as few as 20 cells/well, compared to a minimum of 50 cells/well for the original alamarBlue Cell Viability Reagent.
Note: Minimum cell number/well is also dependent upon reducing activity of the cell type. Results may vary.
