Protocol

Analysis of Cell Viability by the alamarBlue Assay

Abstract

This protocol describes viability measurements for cell cultures in a 96-well tissue culture plate using alamarBlue (resazurin). The assay can be modified to accommodate larger plates; however, for a preliminary analysis of transfection reagents and parameters of the transfection protocol on cell viability, a 96-well plate format is the most cost effective.
