Live Cell Kinetic Neurotransmitter Transporter Uptake Assay Kit

Molecular Devices’ Neurotransmitter Transporter Uptake Assay Kit can be used in both kinetic and endpoint modes and is a simple, mix-and-read protocol performed in 96- or 384-well formatted plates. The assay utilizes a masking dye to extinguish extracellular fluorescence. The kit also includes a novel proprietary fluorescent dye that mimics the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Researchers can screen for live cell kinetic uptake of the three key neurotransmitters — dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin — in a homogeneous, fluorescence-based, high-throughput screening procedure that eliminates the use of radioactive tags or labels.
