About the products: The direct detection of cell proliferation is of utmost importance for the monitoring of cell vitality, determining genotoxicity or evaluating anticancer drugs. The baseclick EdU (5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine) cell proliferation assays provide a superior alternative to bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assays. baseclick’s EdU-Click Assays are not antibody based, and therefore, do not require DNA denaturation for detection of the incorporated nucleoside. Instead, the EdU-Click Assay utilizes “click chemistry” for detection in a variety of dye fluorescent readouts. Sigma-Aldrich distributes these kits for microscopic imaging, flow cytometry, high throughput screening and for in vivo cell proliferation applications. “This cooperation and use of the Sigma- Aldrich vendor platform opens a way for us to increase the awareness of baseclick and the accessibility of our high quality products to customers worldwide,” said Dr. Thomas Frischmuth, CEO of baseclick GmbH.
