Product Overview

The OsteoImageTM Mineralization Assay is a rapid, fluorescent in vitro assay for assessing bone cell mineralization. The OsteoImageTM Assay can quantitate in vitro mineralization by osteogenic stem cells, primary osteoblasts, and osteoblast-like cell lines. It is based on specific binding of the fluorescent OsteoImageTM Staining Reagent to the hydroxyapatite portion of bone-like nodules deposited by cells. 

Unlike typical histochemical methods such as von Kossa and Alizarin red, neither of which is hydroxyapatite specific, the OsteoImageTM Assay eliminates multiple steps or tedious extraction steps.

Increase the speed, sensitivity and ease of measuring mineralization in your cell cultures with the OsteoImageTM Mineralization Assay.
