IncuCyte® NucLight Rapid Red Reagent for live-cell nuclear labeling

The IncuCyte® NucLight Rapid Red Reagent for cell labeling is a cell permeable DNA stain that specifically stains nuclei in live cells and is ideally suited to the mix-and-read, real-time quantification of cell counting. Addition of the IncuCyte NucLight Rapid Red Reagent to normal healthy cells is non-perturbing to cell growth and morphology and provides homogenous staining of nuclei. When added to tissue culture medium, the inert stain crosses the cell membrane and has excellent specificity for DNA without the need for a wash step. With the IncuCyte® integrated analysis software, fluorescent objects can be quantified and background fluorescence minimized. This reagent can be multiplexed with IncuCyte® Annexin V, Caspase-3/7 or Cytotox reagents for simultaneous readouts of apoptosis or cytotoxicity alongside cell proliferation.
