MTS Cell Proliferation Colorimetric Assay Kit — Comprehensive Guide to Applications, Protocols, and Best Practices
Introduction to MTS Assay The MTS Cell Proliferation Colorimetric Assay Kit is a high-throughput tool that measures cell viability, proliferation, and cytotoxicity in vitro using a colorimetric method. The assay is based on the reduction of a tetrazolium salt, MTS (3‑(4,5‑dimethylthiazol‑2‑yl)‑5‑(3‑carboxymethoxyphenyl)‑2‑(4‑sulfophenyl)‑2H‑tetrazolium), into a soluble, colored formazan product by metabolically active cells. The color change is … Read more
