Miniaturizing the comet assay with 3D vertical comets
Cytometry Part A, 2002 AbstractBackgroundThe comet or single‐cell gel electrophoresis assay is a sensitive method for the detection of DNA damage. The main drawback of comet sampling is the low cell density necessary to prevent nucleus overlap after electrophoresis, which limits large‐scale high throughput screening. Another problem may be inconsistent comet focusing.

Is the Comet Assay a Sensitive Procedure for Detecting Genotoxicity?
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010 Although the Comet assay, a procedure for quantitating DNA damage in mammalian cells, is considered sensitive, it has never been ascertained that its sensitivity is higher than the sensitivity of other genotoxicity assays in mammalian cells. To determine

Modification of comet-FISH technique by using temperature instead of chemical denaturation
MethodsX, 2014 Comet-FISH technique is an extension of commonly used comet assay. Its purpose is to determine whether primary DNA damage which comet assay detects occurred within a sequence of interest that is visualized by hybridization of fluorescent probe.

The comet assay: past, present, and future [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 The alkaline comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) is the most widely used method for measuring DNA damage in eukaryotic cells (Neri et al., 2015). It detects strand breaks (SBs) and alkali-labile sites at frequencies from a few hundred to several thousand breaks per cell—a biologically useful range, extending from low endogenous damage levels ...

Closing the gap: from public concerns about health effects to science-based testing of chemicals
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 The comet assay is a powerful technology for measuring DNA integrity in humans and other organisms at the level of individual cells. The assay is used for research and industrial testing but suffers from a lack of standardisation, which hinders its use ...

A New Version of Comet Assay [PDF]
Sovremennye tehnologii v medicine, 2016 The aim of the investigation was to assess the availability of ozone to induce DNA damage in individual cells when analyzing them using the Comet assay. Materials and Methods. Experimental studies were performed on whole blood leukocytes of white non-linear intact male rats (n=16) weighing 250±25 g.
