Thiazolyl Blue / MTT CAS 298-93-1

1. Acts MTT CAS 298-93-1 as a colorimetric reagent for MTT assay to measure cell viability and proliferation in biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
2. Serves Thiazolyl Blue as a redox indicator for detecting enzyme activity and mitochondrial function in in vitro biological experiments.
3. Functions as a staining agent for microbial growth assessment and cytotoxicity testing of drug candidates.

Store MTT CAS 298-93-1 at 2–8℃ in sealed amber glass drums in a cool, dark, dry area, away from light, strong oxidants and acids. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles and a dust mask; avoid inhalation, skin/eye contact & ingestion (irritant). Reseal tightly post-use to prevent moisture absorption and discoloration; dispose of waste as hazardous material.

✅ Undergoes specific reduction by viable cell mitochondria to form purple formazan crystals, enabling accurate and sensitive cell viability quantification.
✅ Good MTT solubility in aqueous cell culture media, facilitating direct preparation of assay solutions without organic solvent interference.
✅ High purity with low background interference, ensuring reproducible results in biological and pharmaceutical screening experiments.
