Live-Cell Kinetic Assays for Time Course Analysis

check

Are you performing time-course and dose-response experiments?

Are you doing drug screenings?

Live-cell kinetic assays are detection reagents that allow the same sample well to be repeatedly measured over multiple time points. This saves you time and effort, enabling you to collect more informative data in real time. Learn how you can get better quantitative data without cumbersome multi-plate setups.

Transform Your Time-Course into a One-Plate Experiment

No more separate wells for every time point. One plate setup gets you unlimited data.

Less setup, less cells, less time, less pipetting, less reagents, less... well... everything.

Learn How These Assays Work

We provide a portfolio of individual live-cell kinetic assay kits. All of these assays allow you to read the same sample plate over multiple time points. The workflow varies based on the different reagent chemistry. 

Example Workflow #1: Repeated Reading from Same Well

Plate your cells and add the reagent once. Then read the plate at each time point, as many times as you need! Our Cell ViabilityCytotoxicityTarget EngagementReporter ExpressionApoptosis, Extracellular ATPProtein:Protein Interactions and Targeted Protein Degradation assays use this workflow.

Example Workflow #2: Repeated Sampling from Same Well

Plate your cells just once. At each time point, remove a small sample of cell media, add reagent and read. Repeat sampling as many times as you need! Our LDH Release and Energy Metabolism assays use this workflow.

No More Missing Time Points

Every second, cellular conditions are changing.

What if you miss that one time point that matters?

With real-time assays, you don't need to guess when things will be interesting. 

Make a real curve! Collect data from however many time points you need, all from a single well.
