Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?
If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.
Do the cells need to be washed to remove the culture media prior to staining with Product T8154, Trypan Blue solution?
Trypan Blue has a greater affinity for serum proteins than for cellular protein. If the background is too dark, cells should be pelleted and resuspended in protein-free medium or salt solution prior to counting.
Why is Trypan blue, Product T8154, used to determine cell viability?
Trypan Blue is a vital stain recommended for use in estimating the proportion of viable cells in a population. The reactivity of this dye is based on the fact that the chromophore is negatively charged and does not react with the cell unless the membrane is damaged. Staining facilitates the visualization of cell morphology. Live (viable) cells do not take up the dye and dead (non-viable) cells do.
Can Trypan blue, Product T8154, be used to discriminate between apoptotic and necrotic cells?
Trypan blue will stain cells that have disrupted membranes. It cannot differentiate between permeabilized membranes caused by apoptosis or necrosis.
Trypan blue, Product T8154, contains a precipitate. Is it still good to use?
The trypan blue solution is still good to use. It can be warmed to dissolve the precipitate or it can be filtered to remove the precipitate.
How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?
The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

Why are there red fibers in Product T8154, Trypan blue solution?
A report of fibers in Product T8154, Trypan blue solution is sufficiently common almost to be a characteristic of the product. These fibers are a cosmetic fault rather than one of functionality. The presence of fibers may be more pronounced following cold storage or shipping. This product should be stored at room temperature. Filtration to remove the fibers will not affect the use of the product.
