A green fluorescent assay for quantifying viable cells based on esterase activity and membrane integrity.
The Biotium Calcein AM Cell Viability Assay Kit measures viable cells using membrane-permeant, nonfluorescent calcein AM. Intracellular esterases in living cells convert it into fluorescent calcein, which is retained by cells with intact plasma membranes.
