General description
Cell Growth Determination Kit (MTT based) is designed for the spectrophotometric measurement of cell growth as a function of mitochondrial activity in living cells. The MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) system is a simple, accurate, reproducible means of measuring the activity of living cells via mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity.
Application
Cell Growth Determination Kit, MTT based has been used:
- to measure the cell viability of preosteoblastic cells
- in MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay of normal human prostatic stromal and epithelial cell lines
- to determine the cell viability of primary cervical epithelial cells
Packaging
Each kit includes 5 vials each containing 1 mL of 5 mg/ml MTT in RPMI (without phenol red) and 50 mL of MTT solvent (0.1 N HCl in anhydrous isopropanol). Volumes of kit components have been optimized for cultures grown in multi-well plates. MTT solutions is added at 10% of total culture volume, thus the number of tests per kit is dependent upon culture vessel and/or volume.
