TACS XTT Cell Proliferation Assay

Catalog Number:

4891-025-K

To assess the cytotoxicity of inhibitors and antibiotics in primary human cells, I utilized a cell proliferation assay kit. This kit simplifies the process of working with a 96-well plate by reducing the required reagent volume and time. At the end of the incubation period, the plate is read using a plate reader. It is a highly sensitive kit and is also useful for conducting time-dependent tests.
