Specifications


Description MTT is a tetrazolium dye that is frequently employed in experiments to measure the rate of cell proliferation or growth. When MTT is introduced into living cells, it undergoes a chemical transformation facilitated by certain enzymes called NAD(P)H-dependent cellular oxidoreductases, leading to the production of formazan which is a bluish or purplish insoluble substance.
