3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)
Membrane-permeable yellow dye that is reduced by mitochondrial reductases in living cells to form the dark blue product, MTT-formazan.
- Spectrophotometric measurement of MTT-formazan at 540 or 570 nm allows quantitation of cell viability
- Used as a direct indicator of cytotoxicity (such as for screening cancer drugs) and apoptosis
- An electron acceptor used for studying NADP-dependent dehydrogenases
Special Instructions: Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (–20 °C.). Stock solutions are stable for up to one month at –20 °C.
