MTT Formazan
Based on 1 Customer Validation
MTT Formazan is a purple water-insoluble product formed by the reduction of yellow soluble MTT by succinate dehydrogenase in the mitochondria of viable cells. The amount of MTT Formazan produced is proportional to cellular metabolic activity, and it can serve as an indicator for evaluating cell viability and proliferation. MTT Formazan exhibits solvent-dependent solubility properties, and its absorbance value can be measured by spectrophotometry to reflect cellular status. MTT Formazan also supports the assessment of cell viability in bacterial MTT assays. MTT Formazan can be used in photoacoustic microscopy to enhance the imaging effect of viable cells, especially in applications in the fields of three-dimensional cell culture and tissue engineering.

Actividad biológica
MTT Formazan (1×109 cells/mL; 1-24 h) is generated by co-incubation of Staphylococcus aureus with MTT (HY-15924). When dissolved in DMF buffered with 5% SDS or DMSO buffered with 5% SDS, MTT Formazan exhibits a stable linear correlation with cell density for at least 24 h within the range up to 1×109 cells/mL, with high detection reproducibility[1].
MTT Formazan is produced by co-incubating NIH/3T3 fibroblasts with MTT, and its absorbance value increases linearly with cell density within the range of 3.125×103 to 1.156×105 cells/cm2; when dissolved with DMSO, the peak absorbance reaches 1.31 at a cell density of 1.156×105 cells/cm2[2].
