Luminescent Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity Assays on the SpectraMax i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader

Molecular Devices SpectraMax® i3x Multi- Mode Microplate Reader, in combination with luminescent assays for cell viability and cytotoxicity, provides a sensitive and rapid way to measure the number of viable cells in culture and quantify the cytotoxic effects of experimental treatment. This application note demonstrates that the SpectraMax i3x reader offers excellent sensitivity in luminescence detection for ATP-based cell viability and adenylate kinase-based cytotoxicity assays, enabling detection of as few as 10 cells per well.
