How Does the MTT Assay Compare to Other Viability Assays?
The MTT assay is one of several assays used to measure cell viability, including the XTT, WST, and resazurin assays. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the XTT and WST assays produce water-soluble formazan products, eliminating the need for a solubilizing step. However, the MTT assay remains popular due to its robustness and ease of use.
