High-Throughput Method for Dynamic Measurements of Cellular Viability Using a FLUOstar OPTIMA
BMG LABTECH
Date Posted: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
We show that the propidium iodide (PI) assay performed on the FLUOstar OPTIMA from BMG LABTECH is a very useful tool for monitoring neuronal viability. It allows a complete analysis of the dynamics of the response to a specific substance.
Numerous parameters, including lag times and rates of death can be assessed using this PI method. The FLUOstar OPTIMA is a flexible microplate reader able to record PI fluorescence over very long periods.
