APOPTAG® Plastic Coverslips are designed to be custom fitted to the specific APOPTAG® kit application.

The ApopTag® Peroxidase In Situ Oligo Ligation Kit specifically detects apoptosis by staining only cells that contain double-stranded breaks that are blunt-ended or have a one base 3' overhang (cells containing nicked, gapped, 3'-recessed, 3'-overhanging ends longer than one base and single-stranded ends are not detected). The high analytic specificity of the ApopTag® ISOL Kit minimizes background due to non-specific labeling…

The CHEMICON Glutathione Detection Kit is a quick method for detection of intracellular levels of reduced glutathione (GSH). Reduction in levels of GSH may be an early indicator of apoptosis.

MTT is a pale yellow substrate that is cleaved by living cells to yield a dark blue formazan product. This process requires active mitochondria, and even freshly dead cells do not cleave significant amounts of MTT. The colorimetric assay described below can be used for either proliferation or complement-mediated cytotoxicity assays.

CHEMICON®'s Osteogenesis Quantitation Kit provides all the necessary reagents and a protocol to enable quantification of osteogenesis using a standard plate reader. This product is useful for studying the effects of growth factors, drugs and toxic agents on bone formation and for screening candidate osteogenic pharmaceuticals. Also, studies examining the intracellular signaling pathways regulating osteoblast differentiation ca…
