Cell viability assay kit

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in United States

The Cell Viability Assay Kit is a quantitative colorimetric assay for determining the number of viable cells in a sample. The assay is based on the metabolic reduction of a tetrazolium salt, which results in the formation of a colored formazan product. The amount of formazan produced is directly proportional to the number of viable cells, which can be measured spectrophotometrically.

Cell Viability Assay for MPP+ and VPA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MPP+- and VPA-treatment effect on cell viability was assessed using a cell viability assay kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The cell viability assay uses the indicator dye resazurin to measure the metabolic capacity of cells and estimate the number of viable cells. After 48 h, 25 µL of treated cell samples was collected, and then 5 µL of cell viability assay reagent per well was added and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The fluorescent signal was recorded by a microplate fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) at 560/590 nm.

A well-characterized clinical isolate, M. ulcerans 1615 was used in all studies [26] (link). M. ulcerans 1615 were grown in Middlebrook 7H9 liquid media and on Middlebrook 7H10 agar supplemented with 10% oleic acid-albumin-dextrose enrichment (OADC) and incubated at 30°C to reach exponential phase of growth. Bacterial viability was validated by staining using a cell viability assay kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Staphylococcus aureus 502a (ATCC# 27217) was obtained from American Type Culture Collection, cultured on nutrient agar and incubated at 37°C. This strain of S. aureus was isolated from the nares of a nurse, and described in ATCC as being coagulase positive, penicillin sensitive, and sensitive to 10 mcg of tetracycline.

Cell viability was quantitated using a Cell viability assay kit (Promega, NSW, Australia). Briefly, Cells were seeded at 5,000 cells per well onto 96-well culture plates and allowed to grow for 24 h followed by desired drug treatments. Post 48 hour treatment, cells were incubated with CellTiter-Blue® reagent for 1 hour at 37°C. The fluorescent signal was recorded using the FLUOstar OPTIMA (BMG Labtech, VIC, Australia).

Cells were seeded and grown overnight and treated with 2-16 mM VPA (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co., St Louis, MO), 50 μM of TMZ (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co.), or negative control (solvent only) for up to 72 h. At the end of each experiment, cell viability was assessed using the cell viability assay kit (Promega, Madison, WI), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 25 µL of treated cell samples were collected to which was added 5 µL of cell viability assay reagent per well. The plates were incubated at 37°C to allow the cells to convert. Then the fluorescent signal was measured with an automatic microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT). The data were summarized and expressed as percentage of the control.

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.
