| Description | Boster’s MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit provides a simple method for determination of cell number using standard microplate absorbance readers. Determination of cell growth rates is widely used in the testing of drug action, cytotoxic agents and screening other biologically active compounds. Several methods can be used for such determinations, but indirect approaches using fluorescent or chromogenic indicators provide the most rapid and large scale assays. The non-radioactive, colorimetric assay system using MTT was first described by Mosmann. The assay is designed for the spectrophotometric quantification of cell growth and viability without the use of radioactive isotopes. The MTT assay involves the conversion of the water soluble MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) to an insoluble purple formazan crystals. The formazan crystals formed are then solubilized, and the concentration of resulting colored solution determined by optical density at 570 nm. The result is a sensitive assay with excellent linearity up to approximately 106 cells per well. |

Quantitation of U937 cells using the MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit. Cells in the parent culture were counted in a hemacytometer and then diluted to the indicated cell numbers in 100 µL volumes, delivered to the wells of a microplate and incubated for 4 hours to allow time for adsorption before being assayed. Absorbance measurements at 570 nm were made using a microplate reader. Each data point represents the mean value of samples in triplicate.
