Cell Health Controls
Easy-to-use and reliable controls for assessing cell health
Viability staining is crucial for both experimental research and therapeutic applications of flow cytometry. However, generating consistent, reliable cell viability controls is challenging—especially with limited biospecimens. Current methods often require intentionally killing a portion of cells, a process that is wasteful, time-consuming, and still may not produce the desired level of control.
ViaComp® Viability Controls
ViaComp® viability controls are advanced 2-in-1 beads that bind to DNA intercalating dyes (7AAD, PI) and amine-reactive viability dyes to simulate the staining of cells. The mix of positive and negative beads ensures clear peak separation, offering a fast, easy-to-use viability control.
Benefits:
- Compatible with both DNA intercalating dyes (7AAD, PI) and amine-reactive viability dyes
- Superior resolution of negative and positive peaks
- Measure toxicity with confidence
- Workflow flexibility for toxicity study with separated positive and negative controls
