Assay Name
In Vitro TO-PRO Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
NCI-H508-cell based In Vitro TO-PRO Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The dyes in SYTOX family (blue, green, orange and red), TOTO and TO-PRO are other fluorescence dyes, which can penetrate only into dead cells to determine the cell viability.
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.
