Thiazolyl Blue

Synonyms: MTT, Tetrazolium bromide, Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide, Methylthialazole Tetrazolium

Thiazolyl Blue (MTT, Tetrazolium bromide, Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide, Methylthialazole Tetrazolium) is a cell-permeable and positively charged colorimetric agent that is widely used to detect reductive metabolism in cells and to measure cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis. Thiazolyl Blue (MTT) is reduced from yellow color to purple formazan in living cells.

1.Preparation of MTT working solution
Dissolve MTT by PBS to obtain 5 mg/mL of MTT.
2.Cell proliferation detection ( 96-well plates)
2.1Inoculated cells:Prepared single cell suspension to prepared with culture medium containing 10% FBS and inoculated into 96-well plate with 1000-10000 cells per well, volume of 100 uL per well.
2.2Incubated cells: 37℃. 5% CO2, Incubate for 24-72 h.
2.3Add 10 μL MTT in per well and incubate for 4 h, Discard the supernatant, For suspended cells, need centrifuge firstly.
2.4Add 100 μL DMSO, shock 10 min to dissolve the crystal completely
2.5Monitor the absorbance increase with an absorbance plate reader at OD = 562 nm.

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
