ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of assay and a kit for carrying out the assay for determining the physical condition of biological cells in vitro. The assay method distinguishes whether cells are alive and proliferating or are dying and, if dying, whether the cells are in an apoptotic or necrotic condition.
