Calcification Evaluation Set

 

This product utilizes Alizarin Red dye solution to stain calcified nodules produced by differentiated osteoblasts, and an acid solution to extract dye bound to calcified nodules. The optical absorbance of the extracted dye solution is then measured, providing a convenient assay to evaluate the extent of osteoblast differentiation (calcification) in cultured cells.

Components

  • ●Alizarin Red Solution (Code No. CSR-ARD-A1)
  • ●Calcified Nodule Extraction Solution (Code No. CSR-ARD-E1)

One kit contains regents for 10 × 12-well plates
