Mts assay kit

Manufactured by Merck Group
Visit Supplier
Sourced in United States

The MTS Assay Kit is a colorimetric assay used to measure the metabolic activity of cells. It is based on the reduction of the tetrazolium compound MTS by viable cells, which produces a colored formazan product that can be quantified using a spectrophotometer.

The viability of LSCC cells was measured by MTS Assay Kit (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). 2 × 103 cells were seeded in 96-well plates, then 20 μl MTS Assay Kit was added to each well and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C. The absorbance was detected using Spark® multimode microplate reader (Mod: SPARK 10 M, TECAN, Switzerland) at a wavelength of 490 nm.

Cell proliferation was measured using MTS Assay Kit (Sigma). For cell scratch-wound assays, cells were inoculated in 6-well plates and transfected 12 hours later. A horizontal line was drawn on the monolayers with a 200 µL tip. At 0, 24 and 48 h, they were photographed and analyzed under a microscope.

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.
