Cell Proliferation Assay

Introduction

 
Cell proliferation analyses are crucial for cell growth and differentiation studies, and are often used to evaluate both compound toxicity and inhibition of tumor cell growth during drug development. Proliferation measurements are typically made based on average DNA content or on cellular metabolism. Assays can report either total cell numbers or live cells, or measure DNA synthesis in single cells.
ABP Biosciences has recently introduced a wide selection of validated products to measure cell proliferation by techniques including tracing cell generation, tracking new DNA synthesis, DNA content, or metabolic activity. These cell proliferation assay kits can be adapted to imaging, microplate, or flow cytometry assay platforms.

Tracking Cell Proliferation by Generation after Generation

Our Cell-ID™ Cell Proliferation Kits allow scientists to detect and quantify cell proliferation through multiple generations.

Tracking New DNA Synthesis

Our iClick™ EdU assays are designed to analyze the rate of new DNA synthesis based on incorporation of the nucleoside analog EdU into DNA. Detection is achieved through a copper-catalyzed “click” reaction that is complete typically within 30 minutes.

Tracking New RNA Synthesis

Our iClick™ EU assays utilize an alkyne-modified nucleoside, 5-ethynyl uridine (EU), and powerful click chemistry to detect newly synthesized RNA in a simple, two-step procedure.
