In the present paper, we present a substantially revised protocol of the widely used SCGE assay performed under alkaline conditions. In our updated version of the comet assay, which we call the Flash-comet, LiOH is used instead of NaOH during the ...

A High-Throughput Comet Assay Approach for Assessing Cellular DNA Damage. [PDF]
Cells are continually exposed to agents arising from the internal and external environments, which may damage DNA. This damage can cause aberrant cell function, and therefore DNA damage may play a critical role in the development of, conceivably, all ...

Cell survival after DNA damage in the comet assay. [PDF]
The comet assay is widely used in basic research, genotoxicity testing, and human biomonitoring. However, interpretation of the comet assay data might benefit from a better understanding of the future fate of a cell with DNA damage.

Minimum Information for Reporting on the Comet Assay (MIRCA): recommendations for describing comet assay procedures and results. [PDF]
The comet assay is a widely used test for the detection of DNA damage and repair activity. However, there are interlaboratory differences in reported levels of baseline and induced damage in the same experimental systems.

Assessment of DNA damage of smooth muscle cells in tunica media of human arterial allografts using Comet assay method. [PDF]
During the harvest and subsequent processing of blood vessels for allogeneic transplantation, DNA damage can occur. A suitable method for quantifying this damage may be the comet assay, also known as the single cell gel electrophoresis assay, which is ...

In vivo Mammalian Alkaline Comet Assay: Method Adapted for Genotoxicity Assessment of Nanomaterials [PDF]
The in vivo Comet assay measures the generation of DNA strand breaks under conditions in which the DNA will unwind and migrate to the anode in an electrophoresis assay, producing comet-like figures.
