Application

The CHEMICON^® Beta Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion Array Kit can be used for assessing the presence or absence of specific integrins on the cell surface. This assay can substitute for FACS analysis (6) and is useful for screening human adherent cells for cell surface integrins or for monitoring in vitro cell differentiation or genetic modification of cells.

Storage and Stability

The Beta Integrin Array Plate can be stored at 2° to 8°C in the foil pouch up to its expiration date. Unused strips may be placed back in the pouch for storage. Ensure that the desiccant remains in the pouch, and that the pouch is securely closed. Keep the remaining kit components at 2° to 8°C.

Precautions

No data is available on the biological toxicity of CyQuant GR^™ dye. This reagent binds to nucleic acids, and as such, should be treated as a potential mutagen which may cause cancer and heritable genetic damage. Handle with caution. The DMSO stock solution should be handled with special caution as DMSO can facilitate the entry of organic molecules into tissues.
