0.4% Trypan Blue Solution (TBS2008)

Description

Tribioscience Trypan Blue Solution (0.4%) is a vital stain used to assess cell viability by the dye exclusion test. It is commonly applied during routine hemocytometer-based cell counting in subculturing and can also be used whenever rapid and accurate cell viability assessment is needed. The dye exclusion principle relies on the fact that viable cells with intact membranes do not absorb impermeable dyes such as Trypan Blue, while non-viable cells with damaged membranes readily take up the dye.

Application

• Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays.
• Manual cell counting using a hemocytometer.
• Assessment of cell membrane integrity.
• Routine quality control in cell culture workflows.

Main Features

• Ready-to-use 0.4% solution.
• Rapid and reliable discrimination between live and dead cells.
• Compatible with a wide range of mammalian cells types.
• Suitable for routine laboratory use.
• Consistent performance and high reproducibility.

Storage

Store at room temperature.
