Benzothiazolyldiphenyltetrazoliumbromide

Description:

Benzothiazolyldiphenyltetrazoliumbromide, commonly referred to as MTT, is a yellow, water-soluble compound widely used in biological and biochemical assays, particularly for cell viability and proliferation studies. Its structure features a benzothiazole moiety linked to diphenyl and tetrazolium groups, which contribute to its unique properties. Upon reduction by metabolically active cells, MTT is converted into a purple formazan product, allowing for quantification of cellular activity through spectrophotometric measurement. This compound is non-toxic to cells at low concentrations, making it suitable for in vitro studies. MTT is sensitive to light and should be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain stability. Its applications extend beyond cell viability assays to include studies on mitochondrial function and cytotoxicity testing. Overall, MTT serves as a valuable tool in research for assessing cell health and metabolic activity, providing insights into various biological processes.
