Assay measures cell viability. It is a two-color fluorescence assay that simultaneously determines Live cell number and Dead cell number. This protocol is designed for use with the GEMINI XS Microplate Spectrofluorometer, a multi-well plate scanner with dual excitation/emission capabilities, but the assay is also adaptable for flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Includes: Cell Culture; Preparation for the Assay; Live/Dead Assay; Reading the Plate; Data Analysis; Alternative protocol. - [Read Live/Dead Assay for Cell Viability Protoco]
Laboratory sample cleanup is a necessary part for analytical preparation analysis. The removal of Contaminants such as proteins, cell debris and other materials is an important step. Typically this has been done by using Acetonitrile and then Centrifugation to pellet the debris leaving the clean supernant. After this process supernatant can be used for further analysis by HPLC, GC, MS and other analysis tandem methods. HTS Labs. - [Read Protein Precipitation Microplate]
