VideoViability determination of HeLa cells using ReadyProbes Cell Viability Imaging Kit (Blue/Green) 
HeLa cells were loaded with NucBlue Live and NucGreen Dead (using 2 drops per ml) in complete media for 15 minutes at 37C. Staurosporine was then added to a final concentration of 1 µM and images were acquired every 30 min. for 18 hours using EVOS Auto Imaging System. All cells are stained with NucBlue Live, shown with blue nuclei. Over time an increase in the number of dead cells is observed as indicated by the appearance of green nuclei (NucGreen Dead).

Time course of cell death visualized using the LIVE/DEAD Cell Imaging kit (R37601). The LIVE/DEAD Cell Imaging kit is based on a cell-permeable dye (calcein, AM) that stains live, viable cells bright green and a cell-impermeable red marker that only stains dead and dying cells, which are characterized by compromised cell membranes. Labeled U-2 OS cells were treated 1 μM staurosporine and fluorescence images in the FITC and TexasRed channels were acquired every 5 minutes over 14 h on the EVOS Auto Imaging System using a 20x objective.
