a Bluer cell viability assay solution

AquaBluer^TM is a proprietary redox indicator. It does not interact with the cells but measures the redox environment in the medium. Viable cells maintain a reduced environment and turn AquaBluer from its oxidized form (nonfluorescent, blue) to the reduced form (fluorescent, red). The fluorescence intensity of AquaBluer at 540ex/590em is proportional to the number of viable cells in the sample. Therefore, it can be used to assess cell viability, cell proliferation, and cytotoxicity. It is nontoxic, simple to use, sensitive, reproducible, and has a broad assay range.
