BioProbes article
Multiplex assays for robust cell health analyses
Here we feature an overview of plate-based viability assays which are a fundamental tool in drug discovery for evaluating the potency of compounds and the sensitivity of cell lines to specific agents.
Application note
Fluorescent viability assays on the Countess II FL Automated Cell Counter
Assessing cell viability is a key step in daily cell manipulation and is required for accurate and efficient downstream processing. In bright-field microscopy, the most commonly used method is trypan blue staining; however, many fluorescent options also exist and are commonly used in microscopy and flow cytometry applications.

| Video | LIVE DEAD Cell Imaging kit on the EVOS Auto Imaging System 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. | cell viability, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, ion channels, ion flux, ion indicators, live-cell imaging |

| Video | Click-iT Plus TUNEL apoptosis assays The Click-iT Plus TUNEL assay detects apoptotic cells in tissue and cultured cell samples through the use of a small, highly specific labeling moiety and a bright fluorescent dye. After incorporation of the labeling moiety into DNA fragments, detection is achieved through a catalyzed "click" reaction using conditions mild enough to preserve the fluorescent signal from GFP or RFP. | apoptosis, Click-iT, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging |
| Video | Z Stack image of HeLa cells labeled with CellLights reagents A series of images were captured on the EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System. Creating a Z-stack from these images allowed the observation of cellular cytoskeletal changes, which can be indicative of the loss of cell health. Methods HeLa cells grown in MatTek 6-well glass bottom culture plates were transduced with CellLights Tubulin-GFP and CellLight Mitochondria-RFP overnight at 37oC. The following day, NucBlue Live reagent (2 drops/mL) was added to the cultures. Cells were then imaged on an EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System with 100x oil immersion objective using the Z-stack function. The step size was set using the Nyquist formula and performed at 0.366 μm. | cell health, cell structure-all, CellLight, EVOS FL Auto Microscope, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, fluorescent proteins, live-cell imaging |
| Video | Detection of oxidative stress with CellROX Green in U2-OS cells U2-OS cells were plated at 200,000 cells per dish on a 35 mm glass bottom dish (MatTek) and cultured overnight. The cells were rinsed once and loaded with 5 µM CellROX Green Reagent (Cat. No. C10444) and 100 nM TMRM in Live Cell Imaging Solution (LCIS, Cat. No. A14291DJ) for 15 minutes at 37 degrees C. After loading, cells were imaged live with no washing every 20 seconds for seventy minutes on the DeltaVision Core inverted microscope at 37 degrees C. Menadione was added to a final concentration of 100 uM after ten minutes of baseline acquisition. The time lapse data shows the loss of signal from TMRM in the red channel as mitochondrial function decreases, concomitant with the onset of a nuclear signal in the green channel as CellRox Green is oxidized and the reagent migrates to the nucleus to generate a fluorogenic response as the active form of the dye binds to DNA. | CellROX, fluorescence microscopy/fluorescence imaging, live-cell imaging, oxidative stress |
