In Vitro
Faster Results. Better Data.

In Vitro kits provide the ability to score micronuclei quickly and reliably by flow cytometry.  In addition to micronucleus counts, researchers also simultaneously collect cell cycle information and cytotoxicity data.

Each kit contains the quality-assured reagents needed to stain and analyze cells by flow cytometry.
[Storage requirements: Ambient, 5 °C, -20 °C].


MicroFlowBASIC Kit
Ship samples to Litron for flow cytometric analysis.
MicroFlowPLUS Kit
Analyze in vivo samples using your own flow cytometer.

In Vivo
Faster Results. Better Data.

In addition to the standard In Vivo MicroFlow kits listed below, we also offer Trial kits, Archive kits, and a number of additional options, such as training, statistical analyses, and enhanced scoring (200,000 reticulocytes scored per sample).

Each kit contains all of the quality-assured supplies & reagents for researchers to collect and fix samples. In the case of MicroFlow PLUS kits, additional materials, reagents and biostandards are provided, giving researchers the ability to perform their own flow cytometric analyses in-house. [Storage requirements: Ambient, 4 °C, -20 °C, -85 °C].”


Trial Kits
Fewer Samples, Same Data

  • Allows new users to experience the benefits of the MicroFlow method with a few "test" samples.
  • Provides experienced users with a valuable alternative when planned studies are either slightly larger, or smaller, than a standard 60 sample experiment.
Species Compartment Samples per kit Product ID
Mouse Peripheral Blood 15 TRIAL-PLUS M
Rat Peripheral Blood 15 TRIAL-PLUS R

Each kit contains the quality-assured supplies & reagents for researchers to collect and fix samples. Additional materials, reagents and biostandards are provided, allowing researchers the ability to perform their own flow cytometric analyses in-house. [Storage requirements: Ambient, 4 °C, -20 °C, -85 °C] .


Archive Kits
Same Data, More Flexibility

Archive Kits allow researchers the flexibility to store fixed samples at ultracold temperatures until they decide whether or not to analyze them. For this reason, two Archive kits are available: STAGE 1 includes the materials and reagents for collecting, fixing and storing samples; STAGE 2 provides the supplies required for shipment and/or analysis of fixed samples.

Kit Type Compartment / Species Samples per kit Product ID
Stage 1

Stage 2
(Analysis)
Mouse 60 STAGE 2, BASIC-M
60 STAGE 2, PLUS-M
Rat 60 STAGE 2, BASIC-R
60 STAGE 2, PLUS-R

Stage 1 kits contain all of the quality-assured supplies & reagents for researchers to collect, fix and store samples. STAGE 2 kits provide the additional materials necessary for sending samples to Litron for analysis (BASIC), or running samples in-house (PLUS). [Storage requirements: Ambient, 4 °C, -20 °C, -85 °C].


Additional In Vivo Options

Enhanced Scoring (BASIC-R and BASIC-M kits)

200,000 reticulocytes scored per sample. With this more intense analysis, researchers can gain higher precision, and more confidence, for samples with low or no micronucleus induction. This option can also offer valuable information concerning Mode of Action (clastogen versus aneugen) of unknown compounds. Additional charges apply.

Statistical Analysis

For MicroFlowBASIC kits, where applicable, statistical analyses include: a Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, followed by parametric (ANOVA and Dunnett's) or non-parametric (Kruskall Wallis and Wilcoxon Two Sample Test) tests. Additional charges apply.

Training
 

MicroFlow training is available for new users or experienced users looking for a 'refresher' course. Please call for details.
