Filter for MR9600 SmartReader™ 96, 590 nm

The MR9600-590 is the 590 nm wavelength filter for the Accuris MR9600 SmartReader 96, single-wavelength interference filter at 590 nm. Common workflow applications: crystal violet cell-staining quantification (the standard workflow for measuring adherent-cell mass after fixation and dye staining), MTT alternative readout wavelength, and some hemoglobin-related quantification.

For full filter family context, see the MR9600-340 page.

Key Specifications

Common Application: Crystal Violet Cell-Staining Assay

Crystal violet (CV) is a common DNA / protein-binding dye used to quantify adherent cell number after fixation. Workflow: fix cells → stain with crystal violet → wash unbound dye → solubilize bound dye in acetic acid or methanol → read absorbance at 590 nm. CV cell-staining is widely used for:

• Cytotoxicity screens with adherent cell lines. Drug-treatment cytotoxicity quantification
• Cell-attachment assays. Quantifying adherent cell number after attachment / detachment treatments
• Wound-healing migration assay endpoint. Fixing and staining migrated cells in scratch-assay workflows
• Bacterial biofilm quantification. Biofilm mass quantification on substrate after fixation
