CytoCHECK SPAchip® calcium single detection kit
CytoCHECK SPAchip® calcium single detection kit
Ref. S-002-CAG
CytoCHEK SPAchip® assay kits are novel fluorescence cell- based assays developed by A4cell that brings together the fields of nanotechnology and cell biology. SPAchips are composed of fluorescently labeled silicon microparticles which can be internalized inside single cells for lengthy periods, providing highly accurate data through long-term cell monitoring.
CytoCHECK SPAchip ® Calcium Single-Detection Kit allows measurement of intracellular calcium levels by changes in fluorescence intensity, which allows a more comprehensive study of the living single-cell physiology and maximizes the performance of most of imaging analyzers.
Kit box contains:
1 ASSAY SPAchip® eppendorf tube (Quantity: 2.5*10^6 ASSAY SPAchip®)
1 Control SPAchip® eppendorf tube (Quantity: 2.5*10^5 CONTROL SPAchip®)
1 buffer (Quantity: 5mL)
