Single Cell DNA Damage Assessment

FLARE-based Assessment of DNA Damage...
Trevigen’s unique FLARE™ (Fragment Length Analysis using Repair Enzymes) Assays provide the ability to detect DNA damage in single cells using a variety of DNA repair enzymes in conjunction with Trevigen’s CometAssay® single cell gel electrophoresis kit. To assess the type of DNA damage induced by a putative mutagen, drug, or treatment regimen, cells are harvested after treatment and immobilized in a layer of low melting point agarose on the FLARE Slide.


Features

  • FLARE Slides allow direct application of low melting point agarose without base layers or pretreatment for three samples
  • Hydrophobic barrier allows easy application of cells directly to slide and treatment with enzyme
  • Base specific DNA damage detection/enhanced damage characterization
