BD Biosciences Launches New BD™ High-Performance Calcium Dye Assay Kit

BD Biosciences, a segment of BD, today announced the launch of the BD™ High-Performance Calcium Dye Assay kit ─ a next-generation kit that allows life science researchers to better analyze calcium signaling in living cells.

“BD Biosciences’ new high-performance calcium dye assay kits provide today’s researchers with a powerful tool to analyze intracellular calcium flux that can aid in vital drug discovery research,” said Xiao Li, Manager, Assay Development, BD Biosciences. “It demonstrates BD Biosciences’ commitment to providing today’s researchers a robust portfolio of instruments, reagents and assays to bolster our understanding of cellular biology.”

Since introducing the original BD Calcium Assay Kit three years ago, BD Biosciences has continuously improved the kit’s performance. Internal and customer data indicate that this new assay kit can provide greater overall performance than other commercially available homogeneous calcium assay kits.

The new BD High-Performance Calcium Dye Assay Kit works with a wide variety of cells and can be customized for large-volume users. It also includes the following key features:

* Higher signal to background for clearer results
* Homogeneous no-wash format for ease of use and improved data quality
