Application The Cell Proliferation Reagent WST-1 is designed to be used for the nonradioactive, spectrophotometric quantification of cell proliferation and viability in cell populations using the 96-well-plate format. It can be used for: Measurement of cell proliferation in response to growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and nutrients Analysis of cytotoxic and cytostatic compounds, such as anti-cancer drugs and other ph…

The basic system is a counter with sample trays holding either 40 (5x8) 20 ml vials or 96 (8x12) 7ml vials. The counter has a pneumatic arm which is loading the samples to the detector chamber. The counter has a unique three PMT detector which enables Triple to Double Coinciencidence Ratio counting. This enables easy determination of sample counting effiency without any external or internal standard. The counter will have an o…

The ELISA-Light™ immunoassay system is used for ultra-sensitive detection of antigens or antibodies in multiple immunoassay formats employing an alkaline phosphatase enzyme label Heterogeneous assay format increases sensitivity and dynamic range and reduces interference by test compounds in the detection portion of the assay (as compared with homogeneous assay formats) Chemiluminescent immunoassay detection allows greate…
