Application

MTT Formazan has been used to measure cell viability.[1][2]

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

MTT assay is a colorimetric reaction, generally used to examine cell viability. It involves the enzymatic reduction of a yellow-colored, water-soluble, 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) to purple-colored, water-insoluble, MTT-formazan. This reaction is catalyzed by mitochondrial dehydrogenase and only occurs in viable cells. Thus, the amount of blue formazan is proportional to the number of viable cells. The absorbance of the formazan solution is analyzed spectrophotometrically at 570 nm.

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  
  1. What is the solubility of MTT Formazan, Product M2003, in water or PBS?

    1 answer
    1. This product is not soluble in either water or PBS. This product is tested for solubility at 1mg/mL in acetone. In addition, this product is also soluble in Chloroform at 10 mg/mL. A brief search of the literature reveals that a 1:1 mixture of DMSO and acidified isopropanol has been used successfully to dissolve this material.

  2. Is MTT formazan (M2003) used to measure cell viability? if it how to used it?

    1 answer
    1. No. The MTT Formazan is the reduced or cleaved form of MTT and would not be suitable in determining cell viability. For viability or metabolic cell studies see product M5655.
