Cytus™ Violet
Cytus™ Violet Cell Adhesion Stain, 2 x 25 mL
Catalog #5466
Cytus™ Violet is a crystal violet-based stain for quantifying adherent cells in adhesion and proliferation assays. Provides strong, uniform staining for imaging or plate-based quantification, enabling reliable evaluation of cell attachment on biomaterials, ECM coatings, and stiffness-tunable surfaces.
Product Description
Cytus™ Violet Cell Adhesion Stain is a ready-to-use crystal violet-based staining solution designed for visualization and quantification of adherent cells. The dye binds strongly to cellular DNA and proteins, producing an intense, uniform stain that highlights attached cells while nonadherent cells are removed during washing.
This enables clear evaluation of cell attachment, spreading, and adhesion performance across a wide range of substrates, including tissue culture plastics, extracellular matrix coatings, and stiffness-tunable biomaterials such as CytoSoft™.
The workflow is simple and reproducible, supporting both imaging-based analysis and quantitative plate-based measurements. When combined with automated imaging or plate readers, Cytus™ Violet enables efficient, high-content analysis of cell adhesion across multiple conditions.
