MTT is a pale yellow substrate that is cleaved by living cells to yield a dark blue formazan product. This process requires active mitochondria, and even freshly dead cells do not cleave significant amounts of MTT. The colorimetric assay described below can be used for either proliferation or complement-mediated cytotoxicity assays.
Reagents and materials supplied in the Blood Vessel Staining Kit are sufficient for staining 100 tissue sections and when stored at 2-8C is stable up to the expiration date.

The OxyBlot™ Protein Oxidation Detection Kit provides the chemical and immunological reagents necessary to perform the immunoblot detection of carbonyl groups introduced into proteins by oxidative reactions with ozone or oxides of nitrogen or by metal catalyzed oxidation.
OxyBlot™ Protein Standard is composed of five proteins (phosphorylase B, BSA, ovalbumin, carbonic anhydrase, trypsin inhibitor) containing 1-3 dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNP) residues per protein. These attached DNP moieties permit the visualization of the proteins by the detection system of the OxyBlot™ Protein Oxidation Detection Kit. OxyBlot™ Protein Standard serves as an internal control for the electrophoresis, western trans…
Streptavidin isolated from Streptomyces avidinii covalently bound to agarose.
This kit allows for quick and reproducible immunoprecipitation (IP) by using a spin column. The system is more reproducible than regular IP's, which are problematic with regards to washing the protein A/G agarose without disrupting the agarose bed. The binding of the antibody/antigen complex in Catch and Release® is reversible, and elution of the immune complex can occur with native or denaturing buffers. The system has been…
The IHC Select® Immunoperoxidase Secondary Detection System is intended for use with the CHEMICON IHC Select® Prediluted Primary Antibody reagents, which contain rabbit and mouse IgG for the qualitative identification of antigens by light microscopy in paraffin-embedded tissues. The IHC Select® Immunoperoxidase Secondary Detection System may also be used with other rabbit or mouse primary antibodies. The IHC Select® Immunopero…
