Assay Card
In the pursuit of pharmaceutical excellence, Concept Life Sciences employs the cell culture cytotoxicity assay as a beacon to assess the cytotoxic potential of novel chemical entities. At the heart of this scrutiny is the HepG2 epithelial cell line, a sentinel in our scientific arsenal. By subjecting these cells to varying concentrations of a test compound, we unveil crucial insights into cellular viability. The magic lies in Resazurin, a fluorometric/colorimetric dye that meticulously gauges cellular metabolic activity and mitochondrial viability. The transformative dance of electrons from NADPH to Resazurin paints a vivid picture, reducing the blue Resazurin to its vibrant counterpart, resorufin. A decrease in this reduction signals cytotoxicity, with the colored resorufin product acting as a direct measure of viable cells. In this symphony of scientific precision, Concept Life Sciences unravels the intricacies of cytotoxic potential, paving the way for transformative strides in drug development.
