Abcam, ab146310, XTT sodium salt, Tetrazolium salt

Size: 25mg / 50mg / 100mg / 250mg
MW 673.53 g/mol. Tetrazolium sodium salt for use in colorimetric assays for cell viability and proliferation. Cleavage of XTT by dehydrogenase enzymes of metabolically active cells yields a highly colored, water soluble formazan product, an advantage over the use of MTT due to MTT requiring a formazan crystal solubilization step. Has been used to asses valvular injury for testing cryopreserved cardiac valves.
