Remarkable new technology from the lab of Prof. Michael Elowitz, California Institute of Technology, permits engineered transfer of synthetic RNA from one cell to another. This approach, that they have appropriately called “COURIER” (controlled output and uptake of RNA for interrogation, expression, and regulation), has the potential to elicit complex cell-cell interactions in multi-cellular systems, to […]
A paper published in Cytometry Part A by the Center for Radiological Research in NY has exemplified machine learning as a means of high throughput imaging flow cytometry for metabolic profiling of archived cellular samples. The team looked at DNA repair capacity (DRC) in peripheral blood samples, both fresh and cryopreserved, following gamma-irradiation and detection […]
BioStatus is delighted to once more support the Autophagy UK Network’s annual meeting at the University of Warwick Here are some dedicated resources for cell biology assays in the study of autophagy, mitophagy, .. First, a few numbers: you can use BioStatus products with confidence, being cited in more than 12,000 peer-reviewed articles. DRAQ5 and […]

A DRAQ™ probe negative for the nucleus? Whatever next! DRAQ9™ is the latest product to come out of BioStatus’s R&D. It’s very different from what you’re used to seeing from us however, as DRAQ9™ is nuclear-negative yet plasma membrane permeant and famously far-red fluorescing! This remarkable and unexpected combination of features means that it […]
A far-red probe for cell painting and mosaics DRAQ9™ is the latest product to come out of BioStatus’s R&D. It’s very different from what you’re used to seeing from us however, as DRAQ9™ is nuclear-negative yet plasma membrane permeant and famously far-red fluorescing! DRAQ9™ labels lipophilic structures in the cytoplasm such as Golgi apparatus, […]
Scientists at York University, Toronto, led by Prof. Sergey Krylov have developed a methodology that permits the tracking of motile cells for the measurement of Cytometry of Reaction Rate Constant (CRRC). In essence, CRRC is a valuable tool in understanding tumour cell biology. One can measure the difference in a chemical reaction’s rate between individual […]
A simple, yet improved (3-parameter, 3-colour) apoptosis assay The combination of Annexin V binding to detect phosphatidyl serine displayed on inverted plasma membranes of early apoptotic cells and a DNA-binding viability dye that permeates leaky plasma membranes denoting very late apoptotic/dead cells is a widely used simple, low-cost, single tube assay for cellular apoptosis. […]
