Mammalian Cell Viability Methods and Protocols

Viability of cells is one of the most fundamental measurements made during studies in cell biology. Whether the question is one of basic cell survival, or whether it is being used to correlate cell number to some other factors such as matrix synthesis, an estimate of cell viability is universally required. The specific method used will greatly influence the interpretation of the data. While many viability methods have been used for decades, there have been recent developments which offer inc...
