Applications
A wide variety of applications for Cytostar-TTM scintillating microplates have already been identified ranging from receptor-ligand interactions to studies of cell proliferation, drug uptake and efflux and in situ quantitation of mRNA induction. Cytostar-T scintillating microplates can also be treated with appropriate coatings for suspension cells (for example, poly-D lysine) and Amersham Biosciences would be pleased to discuss customized coatings for specific project needs.

The Cytostar-T plates are also available as part of ready-configured kits for ease of use. Applications such as thymidine or leucine uptake measurements are available.
Cellular metabolism – metabolite transport (e.g. glucose), drug uptake/excretion.
Uptake of [14C] Docetaxol in control (SKMES-1) cells, measured in Cytostar-T scintillating microplates
Cell viability – measurement of cell proliferation and cytotoxicity.
Uptake of [14C] Thymidine in HeLa cells
Cell biology – receptor binding, cell motility and signal transduction, including arachidonic acid release, ion channel flux and gene expression.
Release of [14C] arachidonic acid from CHO M1 cells exposed to McN-A343, measured in Cytostar-T scintillating microplates
Cytostar-T Plates are either individually wrapped in packs of 5 or in sleeves of 20, a high-throughput screening pack contains 100 plates. |
