MTT Assay Kit (Cell Proliferation)

Background: The MTT Cell Proliferation and Cytotoxicity Assay Kit is a rapid and highly sensitive kit widely used in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection. MTT is 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide which can be reduced by some dehydrogenases in mitochondria to form a crystalline dark purple product formazan. Formazan can be completely dissolved by DMSO and its absorbance is near 570 nm wavelength. The more and faster the cells proliferate, the darker the color is, and the more cytotoxic, the lighter the color is. For the same cells, there is a linear relationship between the depth darkness of color and the number of cells.

Small volumes of MTT assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS2557032 is an assay kit targeting MTT. Also known as MTT Assay Kit (Cell Proliferation).
