Resazurin (Diazoresorcinol) is a water-soluble, non-toxic, stable, membrane-permeable blue non-fluorescent dye (faintly fluorescent). Resazurin is used as a redox indicator, can be reduced to pink, highly fluorescent Resorufin (Ex=530-560 nm, Em=590 nm) in living cells. Resazurin can be used for the detection of cell viability, toxicity, proliferation, migration and invasion in cells (human, plant and animal, bacterial and fungal).

Description

Resazurin (Diazoresorcinol) is a water-soluble, non-toxic, stable, membrane-permeable blue non-fluorescent dye (faintly fluorescent). Resazurin is used as a redox indicator, can be reduced to pink, highly fluorescent Resorufin (Ex=530-560 nm, Em=590 nm) in living cells. Resazurin can be used for the detection of cell viability, toxicity, proliferation, migration and invasion in cells (human, plant and animal, bacterial and fungal)[1][2].

In Vitro

Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).
Cell viability[1][2]:
1. Defrost the Resazurin solution in a 37°C water bath.
2. Place the cells on a 96-well plate, and washed by PBS (avoid light).
3. Remove the PBS wash, then add 500 μL (1μg/mL) of Resazurin solution.
4. Place the plate, in the incubator for 30 min (incubation time depends on cell type and cell number).
5. Measure Resorufin fluorescence (Ex=530-560 nm, Em=590 nm) using a microplate reader.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
