Product Description
Trypan Blue
Application Notes
Trypan blue is used as a vital dye which is especially important because it is taken up by the reticuloendothelial system.Trypan blue is also recommended for use in dye exclusion procedures for viable cell counting. Non-viable cells will up-take trypan blue at a faster rate than viable cells.
