Should I prepare fresh for each use or I directly resuspend in 20 ml of water (for the 100 mg bottle) and store? In the latter case, how can I store the solution?

What's the difference between M5655 and M2003?
1 answer-
Product M5655 is Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide and Product M2003 is Thiazolyl blue formazan.
MTT (Cat. no. M5655) is used in the measurement of cell proliferation. MTT produces a yellowish solution that is converted to dark blue, water-insoluble MTT formazan (Product M2003) by mitochondrial dehydrogenases of living cells. The blue MTT formazan crystals are solubilized with acidified isopropanol and the intensity is measured colorimetrically at 570 nm. Thus, the amount of blue formazan is proportional to the number of viable cells. For more information regarding this particular assay, we do offer an assay kit, TOX1, which is based on this principle: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/product/sigma/tox1.

What type of multi-well plate should be used for the Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay?
1 answer-
It is recommended that flat bottom multi-well plates be used for the MTT assay. The use of tissue culture treated plates is only important if necessary for good cell growth. If cells are grown in larger plates, the supernatant after cell lysis can be transferred to a 96 well plate for reading.

Is the MTT assay quantitative?
1 answer-
The MTT asay is a method to assess cell viability. This assay is a semiquantitative assay. The assay is used to compare the viability changes in treated cells to untreated cells. The absorbance is indicative of the cell number. The higher the absorbance, the greater the number of viable cells present. Most researchers compare the absorbance of the two samples as a ratio (ABS treated cells/ABS untreated cells) to get a fold increase/decrease in cell number.

How can I store solutions of Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT)?
1 answer-
Reconstituted MTT solution is stable for at least 6 months when stored frozen (-20 °C). Storage of reconstituted MTT solution at 2-8°C for more than 2 weeks may cause decomposition and yield erroneous results.

What can be used to make a solution of Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT)?
1 answer-
We test the solubility of MTT in water at a concentration of 5 mg/mL. For the MTT viability assay, we dissolve Product No. M5655 at a concentration of 5 mg/ml in RPMI-1640 without phenol red. This medium is available as a powder (Product No.R8755) or liquid (Product No. R7509). MTT can be solubilized in any culture media or balanced salt solution that does not contain phenol red as a pH indicator.

Why is a reference wavelength used for data analysis of Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT)?
1 answer-
The reference wavelength (630-690 nm) is used to adjust for the optical variation in the wells of the plate. It also corrects for dust and fingerprints that can be present. The assay is read at 570 nm. The reference wavelength needs to be far enough away from the assay wavelength so as not to affect those values.

What can be used to solubilize MTT formazan (the product of the Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide - MTT reaction)?
1 answer-
Mitochondrial dehydrogenases of viable cells cleave the tetrazolium ring of the MTT, yielding purple MTT formazan crystals. These crystals are not soluble in aqueous solutions; they may be dissolved in acidified isopropanol (0.1 N HCl in anhydrous isopropanol). If this does not lyse the cells, Triton X-100 can be added to the acidified isopropanol. A typical working concentration is 10% Triton X-100 (i.e., 1 volume of 100% Triton X-100 + 9 volumes of acidified isopropanol).
