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].
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).

BASIC-H, Whole Blood
Whole blood specimens are
collected and shipped to Litron
for fixation. |
| 25 |
BASIC-H, Fixed Blood
Whole blood specimens are
collected and fixed at collection
site, then stored at ultracold
temperature until shipped to
Litron. |
Each kit contains all of the quality-assured supplies & reagents for
researchers to collect and fix samples. In the case of the MicroFlow / kits, additional materials,
reagents and biostandards are provided, giving researchers the ability to run samples 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.

Each kit contains
the quality-assured supplies & reagents for researchers to collect

provided, allowing researchers the ability to run samples 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 and fixing
samples; STAGE 2 provides the supplies
required for shipment and/or analysis of
fixed samples.

Stage 1 kits
contain all of the quality-assured supplies & reagents for
researchers to collect and fix 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.

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.
