Is it possible to detect changes in calcium level in cells nuclei following specific treatment with the FLUOFORTE® Calcium assay kits (ENZ-51016, ENZ-51017, ENZ-51020)?
Detecting the calcium level in cells nuclei would require optimization. FLUOFORTE® Calcium Assay Kits (ENZ-51016, ENZ-51017, ENZ-51020) have been benchmarked for…

Can the CYTO-ID® dye (ENZ-51036, ENZ-51037) be injected into mice for in vivo studies or does it need to be loaded into cultured cells?
CYTO-ID® long-term cell tracer kits (ENZ-51036, ENZ-51037) have not been tested for in vivo studies. The CYTO-ID dye would be difficult…

What could be the reason when no red fluorescence is detected in a sample containing both live and dead cells if the blue DAPI works well and the protocols were followed as recommended?
The filter settings should be checked to determine that they are optimal. Since the blue signal is stronger than the…

Is the dye efflux inhibitor (reagent B) in the FluoForte® Calcium assay kits (ENZ-51016, ENZ-51017, ENZ-51020), Probenecid ? Should this be added to every cell type to prevent the FluoForte from leaking out of the cells?
The inhibitor is similar in properties to Probenecid. Cells lacking active MDR pumps do not require addition of efflux inhibitor. Depending…

Is the Red NUCLEAR-ID® dye in the NUCLEAR-ID® Blue/Red cell viability reagent provided with reference ENZ-53005 the same dye as NUCLEAR-ID Red for cell cycle analysis provided with reference ENZ-51008?
No, these are two different dyes.

What is the recommended exposure setting for NUCLEAR-ID® red stain (ENZ-52406)?
The exposure depends on the microscope and filters. With a 50% neutral density filter, 1 second exposure is a good starting point.
