Assay Name
In Vitro Evans Blue Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
NCI-H508-cell based In Vitro Evans Blue Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The dye Evans blue has also been used in cell viability assays based on its ability to cross non-viable cell membranes.
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.
