Why Alamar Blue Assay?

alamarBlue is a cell proliferation assay that provides a rapid, sensitive, and economical way to quantitatively measure cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in various human and animal cell lines. It can also be used to study mycobacteria, bacteria, and fungi.

What is Alamar blue used for?

alamarBlue Cell Viability Reagent is an indigo-colored, non-toxic reagent that detects metabolically active cells and is used for the quantitative analysis of cell viability and proliferation.

How does the Alamar blue assay measure cell viability?

AlamarBlue Cell Viability Reagent quantitatively measures the proliferation of mammalian cell lines, bacteria and fungi. The dye incorporates an oxidation-reduction (REDOX) indicator that both fluoresces and change color in response to the chemical reduction due to cell growth.
