General description

In Vitro Toxicology Assay Kit (Resazurin based) is designed for fluorometrically or spectrophotometrically determining cell number as a function of metabolic activity using the dye resazurin. The resazurin method is simple, accurate, and reproducible

Application

In Vitro Toxicology Assay Kit, Resazurin based has been used:
  • in cell viability assay of human primary fibroblasts
  • to determine the cell proliferation rate in murine pre-osteoblasts
  • to determine the metabolic activity of microfluidic and monolayer cultures

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bioreduction of the dye reduces the amount of its oxidized form (blue) and concomitantly increases the fluorescent intermediate (red).
