Assay Name
In Vitro Trypan Blue Exclusion Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
A549-cell based In Vitro Trypan Blue Exclusion Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The intact cell membranes cannot recruit these dyes into cells. Trypan blue can enter into non-viable cells, while viable cells exclude trypan blue. The trypan blue exclusion assay is a simple and commonly used assay for cell viability determination.
Assay Type
Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays
Assay Type Details
Uncontrolled proliferation is one of the main features of cancer cells. Cell-based in vitro assays are employed to determine whether test molecules possess direct cytotoxic/antiproliferative effects in cancer cells.
