Viability assays: A comparison of luminescence-, fluorescence-, and absorbance-based assays to determine viable cell counts
2 Feb 2022There are numerous viability assay kits available which allow cellular viability quantification using absorbance (Abs), fluorescence (FI), or luminescence (Lum) readouts in a microplate reader.
In this application note, BMG Labtech compares three popular representatives (Vybrant® MTT, alamarBlueTM, and CellTiter-Glo®) in terms of their usability, as well as lower and upper limit of detection, to support you in the selection of the optimal viability assay for your individual application.
