Cell Detection Dye

What it means: 200 assays — how many assays one pack supports.

Why it matters:

• The assay count helps you plan how many plates or samples one order covers.
• It lets you budget reagent for standards, blanks and repeats.
• Knowing the count helps you schedule reorders before you run out.
• Assay counts assume the recommended reaction volume per well.
• Planning the number of plates before ordering avoids running short mid-study.
• Assay counts help you compare reagent cost per data point.
• Counting assays per pack also helps you decide between pack sizes when more than one is offered.

For this product: One vial gives 200 assays in a 96-well plate format.

Tip: Include wells with medium only to measure background.

What it means: Ex 485 nm / Em 535 nm — how the signal is read.

Why it matters:

• The readout decides which instrument you need.
• Wavelength settings must match the dye for the best signal.
• Knowing the readout helps you choose plate color and plate type.
• Running blanks with the same settings lets you subtract background.
• Stating instrument settings makes results easy to repeat.
• The signal window depends on how far sample readings are above the blank.
• Reading all plates with the same instrument settings keeps data comparable.
• Absorbance and fluorescence readouts need different plate types, so plan plates in advance.

For this product: Read the signal at Ex 485 nm / Em 535 nm.

Tip: Use black plates for the best signal-to-background ratio.

What it means: Frozen — how the product is shipped.

Why it matters:

• The shipping condition tells you what to expect when the package arrives.
• Unpacking promptly lets you check the contents against the order.
• Checking the package on arrival helps you spot transport problems early.
• Storage conditions can differ from shipping conditions, so confirm them before the package arrives.
• Recording the arrival date and condition helps if questions come up later.
• Arranging for someone to receive the package avoids delays when it arrives.
• The shipping condition is chosen to keep the product as described during transport.

For this product: Ships frozen; unpack it promptly on arrival. Please contact us to confirm storage conditions.

Tip: Open and check the package on arrival, and contact us right away if anything is damaged or missing.
