Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Cardiac voltage-sensitive optical mapping records changes in transmembrane potential from cardiac tissue by staining the preparation with a voltage-sensitive dye and imaging fluorescence changes during electrical activation; the resulting optical action potentials can be used to map activation time, action potential duration, conduction velocity, wavefront propagation, and arrhythmia dynamics. The optical signal represents a relative fluorescence change from a tissue volume rather than a single-cell intracellular recording, so spatial resolution, sampling rate, voltage resolution, optical magnification, light penetration, and motion control must be considered together when interpreting optical action potentials.
