How It Works

Calculate percent cell viability from MTT assay absorbance data, normalize to controls, and determine IC50 of cytotoxic compounds

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • MTT assay absorbance data — The mtt assay absorbance data recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Normalize — The normalize recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the mtt assay result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the MTT assay absorbance data, normalize for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate percent cell viability from MTT assay absorbance data, normalize to controls, and determine IC50 of cytotoxic compounds. Use the mtt assay result to inform your clinical assessment.
