Abstract

Methods for reproducibly labelling viable cells with cyanine dyes that do not significantly affect cell viability. Applications for labelled cells include using labelled red blood cells to distinguish post-transfusional bleeding from immunologic reaction and using dilution to measure growth rate of cultured cells.
