TOX8
Sigma

In Vitro Toxicology Assay Kit, Resazurin based

Descriptions

Application

For spectrophotometric measurement of metabolic activity of living cells. Absorbance of converted dye is measured at a wavelength of 600 nm.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bioreduction of the dye reduces the amount of its oxidized form (blue) and concomitantly increases the fluorescent intermediate (red).
