XTT (sodium)
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
XTT (sodium) is used to assess cell viability as a function of redox potential. Actively respiring cells convert the water-soluble XTT to a water-soluble, orange colored formazan product.

Determining Cell Viability Using XTT (sodium)[2] 1. Solution Preparation (1) XTT (sodium) solution: Dissolve XTT in warm culture medium at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. (2) PMS solution: Prepare PMS solution at a concentration of 100 mM, dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and store at 4°C. (3) Mixing for use: When ready to use, add PMS solution to the XTT solution, resulting in a final PMS concentration of 25 μM. 2. Experimental Procedure (1) Cell culture: Seed the cells to be tested (e.g., HT-2 T cell line) in a 96-well plate, 100 μL medium per well, and incubate at 37°C for 40 hours. (2) Add XTT/PMS solution: Add 25 μL of the XTT/PMS solution to each well and incubate for 4-8 hours. (3) Measure absorbance: At the end of the incubation, measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader, with 650 nm as the reference wavelength, and subtract the absorbance of the blank control wells. 3. Washing and Storage Wash the experimental equipment with Milli-Q purified water. Store PMS and XTT solutions protected from light. 4. Notes (1) XTT solution should be freshly prepared, and dissolving it in a 60°C water bath will be easier. (2) The incubation time may vary depending on the experiment, and over-incubation can increase background noise. (3) PMS solution has a short storage time and should be used within one month.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.71 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
