At the end of the treatment, 10 μl MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide; 2.5 mg/ml)] was added, and the cells were cultured for another 4 hours. The medium was then removed, and the formazan products were dissolved in DMSO. Absorbance at 570 nm (versus 620 nm) was measured with Absorbance Reader (Spark, TECAN, Switzerland). IC50 values refer to the compound concentration inducing 50% cell growth inhibition.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
