DeNovix CellDrop Assay Kits are simple to use and designed for Brightfield and Fluorescence applications preloaded on CellDrop instruments. DeNovix offers multiple assay kits for cell counting viability assessment, including Acridine Orange / Propidium Iodide (AO/PI) for the CellDrop FL Fluorescence Cell Counter. Optimized for CellDrop Applications Cell Counting and Viability Rapid Incubation Integrated into EasyApps™ Software Simple Mix-and-Measure Assay AO-PI Viability Assay The Acridine Orange (AO) / Propidium Iodide (PI) assay is used for cell counting and viability. AO is a nucleic acid-binding fluorophore that is cell membrane permeable and suitable for selective staining of nucleated cells. PI is a nucleic acid-binding dye that is impermeable to live cells and suitable for staining dead, nucleated cells. All live, nucleated cells fluoresce green due to AO, while dead, nucleated cells are stained with both AO and PI and fluoresce red. Acridine Orange The Acridine Orange (AO) Dye is used for total cell counting. AO is a nucleic acid-binding fluorophore that is cell membrane permeable and suitable for selective staining of nucleated cells. Propidium Iodide The Propidium Iodide (PI) Dye is used for viability assessment. PI is a nucleic acid-binding dye that is impermeable to live cells and suitable for staining dead, nucleated cells. Yeast The Fluorescein Diacetate (FDA) and Propidium Iodide (PI) assay is used for yeast cell viability testing. FDA is a cell viability probe that is membrane-permeable to live yeast cells.
