MTT can be used to safely assess cell proliferation, cell viability, andor cytotoxicity MTT is added directly to the culture medium and is reduced by

mtt MTT is not a soluble product, so the cells must be lysed to solubilize the formazan salt before absorbance can be measured XTT and resazurin do not require

mtt MTT is used to assess cell viability as a function of redox potential Actively respiring cells convert the water-soluble MTT to an insoluble purple
