1) Carry out a lymphokine, mitogen, or complement-mediated cytotoxicity assay using standard methods, in 96-well flat-bottomed tissue culture plates of good optical quality (e.g. Falcon). The final volume of tissue culture medium in each well should be 0.1 mL, and the medium (e.g. RPMI or DMEM) may contain up to 10% Fetal Bovine Serum.
2) At the end of the assay add 0.01 mL AB Solution (MTT) to each well. Mix by tapping gently on the side of the tray.
3) Incubate at 37° C for cleavage of MTT to occur. Optimal times may vary according to the assay, but four hours is suitable for most purposes. At the end of this time, the MTT formazan produced in wells containing live cells will appear as black, fuzzy crystals on the bottom of the well.
4) Add 0.1 mL isopropanol with 0.04 N HCl to each well. Mix thoroughly by repeated pipetting with a multichannel pipettor. The HCl converts the phenol red in tissue culture medium to a yellow color that does not interfere with MTT formazan measurement. The isopropanol dissolves the formazan to give a homogeneous blue solution suitable for absorbance measurement.
5) Within an hour, measure the absorbance on an ELISA plate reader with a test wavelength of 570 nm and a reference wavelength of 630 nm. After several hours at room temperature, serum proteins may begin to precipitate due to the acid/alcohol. Chilling the plates will hasten the precipitation. If the plates must be stored before measuring, keep at 4° C before adding the acid/alcohol, then warm to room temperature and add acid/alcohol just before reading.
Results:
The MTT assay will normally detect 200 to 50,000 cells of a typical cell line, although 1,000 to 50,000 is the useful range. This number may vary for other cell types. Cytotoxic assays should be set up so that the control, unlysed cells give a signal of 0.2 to 0.4, and proliferation assays should yield a similar value at plateau concentrations. This corresponds to about 20-50,000 cells per well with a typical cell line.
Absorbance is directly proportional to the number of cells; actual cells do not absorb significantly, even up to concentrations of 1 x 106 cells/mL.
Solution B: PBS pH 7.4, 15 mL
Reagent Preparation:
Add 10 mL Solution B to one vial of Reagent A. Mix well, sterile filter and keep in the dark at 4° C until used. Note: It may take overnight to dissolve. Do not heat solution. When absolutely required to dissolve crystals, adjust pH with 1-2 drops of HCl. The AB mixture is stable for several weeks under these conditions.

С 2010 года мы поставляем оборудование с заводов Европы. Берем на себя все — от подбора оборудования до внедрения на предприятии

Все сотрудники имеют высшее образование, закончили ведущие химические вузы страны, такие как РХТУ им Менделеева.

У большинства компаний срок ожидания составляет 10-12 недель.

Оборудование хранится на сухом отапливаемом складе, где поддерживается ровная температура.

Работаем с PonyExpress и Деловыми линиями. Вы также можете выбрать свою транспортную компанию или забрать товар со склада в Москве.

В случае любых неполадок за свой счет выполним ремонт в сервисном центре или на заводе-изготовителе. Или бесплатно заменим прибор на новый.

Производим пуско-наладку оборудования, валидацию, обучение сотрудников. Если нужно, привлекаем инженеров с заводов- изготовителей.
