Measure DNA Damage in Cell Cultures
|
|
This test detects damage to the chromosomes, or spindle
apparatus, of cells. After exposure to a test substance, cells are allowed to divide. It is upon division that this type of damage can result in the formation of a smaller ‘micronucleus', apart from the main nucleus.

MicroFlow® Kits
|
|
|
Litron's MicroFlow kits use flow cytometry to analyze micronuclei in vitro.
The key element of this method is the sequential staining. One staining step identifies dead and dying cells.
The second step lyses cells and stains DNA. This approach allows
you to distinguish micronuclei from other events, such as apoptotic
bodies.
