Tools for Cell Viability and Apoptosis Detection

 

 

Cell viability indicates the percentage of living cells capable of maintaining essential functions, while cell death refers to the irreversible loss of these functions through processes such as apoptosis or necrosis. Together, these parameters are fundamental for studying cell health, toxicity, and therapeutic effects.

Key Products

Biotium offers a wide-selection of assay kits for cell viability and cell death. These kits feature a variety of formats enabling comprehensive analysis of cell health and cytotoxicity
