Sample Type：Cell culture （adherent and non adherent）Intended Use：This BioAssay provides a convenient and non-radioactive alternative to carry out cytotoxicity assays. This assay relies on the ability of crystal violet to bind ribose molecules （i.e. DNA） in viable cells.Specificity：MammalianTest Principle：This Crystal violet （CV） cell cytotoxicity BioAssay is one of the common methods used to detect cell viability or drug cytotoxicity. CV is a triarylmethane dye that can bind to ribose type molecules such as DNA in nuclei. Normally，dead adherent cells will detach from cell culture plates and will be removed from viable cell propulation during washing steps. CV staining can be used to quantify the total DNA of the remaining population and thus determine cell viability. The CV staining is directly proportional to the cell biomass and can be measured at 570nm. CV staining is a quick and versatile assay for screening cell viability under diverse stimulation or inhibition conditions. This CV cell cytotoxicity BioAssay kit is simple，accurate，reproducible and sensitive. It also includes Doxorubicin as a positive control. This kit offers an excellent and efficient method for in vitro cytotoxicity studies as well as high-throughput drug screeningKit Components：Crystal Violet Staining SolutionStorage and Stability：Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for at least 6 months For maximum recovery of product，centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
