Cell Cytotoxicity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (CAT#: CB-P056-K) Datasheet

Monitoring the cytotoxicity of cells is one of the most important tasks for studying cell functions. A variety of parameters can be used. Creative Biolabs' uses proprietary water-soluble dyes that can change the absorption spectrum of cells after reduction. The change in absorption rate is directly proportional to the number of living cells. Its high sensitivity, non-radioactive and no-clean features make the kit suitable for high-throughput screening of cell proliferation or cytotoxicity against multiple compounds.

Compared with tetrazole-based colorimetric assays (such as MTT and XTT), the kit does not require pre-mixing of components and has higher sensitivity. It contains enough reagents for 1000 measurements. The kit components are very stable and have minimal cytotoxicity. Therefore, if necessary, the incubation time can be extended (for example, 24-48 hours).

The kit is sturdy and easy to use. It can be easily adapted to various instrument platforms. The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter plate format.
