CyQUANT™ NF Cell Proliferation Assay Kit

Since the amount of DNA in cells is highly regulated, methods to detect DNA content offer improved accuracy over metabolism-based cellular proliferation or cytotoxicity assays, which can be affected by cell changes that are unrelated to cell number. CyQUANT cell proliferation assays use cell-permeant, DNA-binding dyes that enhance fluorescence when bound to nucleic acids to measure cellular DNA content. The resulting fluorescent signal can be compared to standards to determine cell number, enabling fast and sensitive microplate assays to measure cell proliferation and cytotoxicity.
