Live-cell imaging and cellular structures

Biotium CellBrite™ Steady

For long-term plasma membrane imaging in live cells. Ideal for monitoring cell morphology, migration and co-culture experiments.

Biotium MitoView™

For live-cell mitochondrial imaging. MitoView™ 633 is especially useful for monitoring mitochondrial membrane potential.

Biotium LysoView™

For fluorescence imaging of lysosome localization and morphology in live cells, with options across multiple fluorescence channels.

Biotium ViaFluor® Live Cell Microtubule Stains

For rapid and sensitive imaging of the microtubule cytoskeleton in live cells.

Vector VectaCell™ Trolox

An antifade additive for live-cell imaging that reduces phototoxicity and photobleaching during long imaging experiments.

Cell viability, cell death and apoptosis

Biotium Calcein AM & Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay Kit

For live/dead cell discrimination by fluorescence microscopy, plate imaging or flow cytometry. Calcein AM stains viable cells green, while Ethidium Homodimer III stains dead cells red.

Biotium Live-or-Dye™ Fixable Viability Stains

For live/dead discrimination before fixation and permeabilization. A strong choice when downstream antibody staining is required.

Biotium NucView® Caspase-3 Substrates

For real-time monitoring of apoptosis in live cells through caspase-3/7 activity.

Cayman JC-1 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit

For measuring mitochondrial membrane potential as an indicator of cell health and cellular stress.

Cayman ROS Detection Cell-Based Assay Kit

For direct measurement of general reactive oxygen species in living cells.

Fixed cells and tissues - immunofluorescence

Biotium CellBrite™ Fix & MemBrite™ Fix

For membrane labeling in live cells before fixation. The label tolerates permeabilization and can be combined with intracellular immunofluorescence.

Biotium CF® Dye Phalloidin

For F-actin and cytoskeleton imaging in fixed cells, including super-resolution microscopy applications.

CST IF-validated antibodies

For investigating protein localization, expression and activation state in fixed cells and tissue specimens. Suitable for multiplex immunofluorescence workflows.

Challenging tissue samples and signal optimization

Vector TrueVIEW® Autofluorescence Quenching Kit

For reducing tissue autofluorescence, including in formaldehyde-fixed and FFPE samples. Enhances signal-to-noise while retaining specific IF staining.

Vector VECTASHIELD® Mounting Media

For protecting fluorescent signals against photobleaching in fixed cell and tissue samples for epifluorescence and confocal imaging.

Vector VectaFluor™ Excel

A non-biotin fluorescence signal amplification system for low-abundance targets in immunofluorescence.

Dynamic imaging of a protein of interest

NEB SNAP-tag® & CLIP-tag™

For selective fluorescent labeling of a protein of interest in live or fixed cells. Supports dual-color protein visualization and pulse-chase experiments.
