The MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit offers a reliable method for analyzing cell proliferation based on cellular metabolic activity. MTT, a well-established reagent, is widely used to ascertain cell numbers across a spectrum of applications. Living cells metabolize MTT into a deeply pigmented formazan product. Once solubilized, the absorbance of this formazan product can be quantified using a microplate absorbance reader. This comprehensive kit is designed to perform cell-counting assays, with the capability to detect cell populations ranging from 2,000 to 250,000 cells, contingent upon the specific cell type and experimental conditions.

Case Study
Quantitation of Jurkat cells using the MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit. Jurkat cells were diluted to the indicated cell numbers in 100 µl volumes, delivered to the wells of a microplate, and incubated for 4 hr with MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit, absorbance was measured at 570 nm.
