The effective labeling of cells provides a powerful method for studying cellular events in a spatial and temporal context.
One of the most common laboratory methods for determining cell viability is using cell-impermeant dyes. Compromised membranes of dead cells permit the influx of cell-impermeant dyes and become stained, whereas viable cells do not.
Each of the 10 unique Live or Dead™ Fixable Dead Cell Staining Kits employ membrane-impermeant amine-reactive dyes to differentiate live and dead cells during flow cytometry. Labeled cells can be fixed, permeabilized, and probed for intracellular immunophenotyping or other multiparameter staining experiments.
These kits are exceptional tools for preserving fluorescent images of particular cells and can also be used for fluorescence microscope demonstrations.

Cell Viability Detection: Jurkat cells were treated and stained by Live or Dead™ Fixable Dead Cell Staining Kit (deep red), and then formaldehyde-fixed and analyzed by flow cytometry. Live (Red), staurosporine treated (Green) and heat-treated (Blue) cells were distinguished with APC channel. <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->
