Details
Crystal violet (CV) cell cytotoxicity assay is one of the common methods used to detect cell viability or drug cytotoxicity. CV is a triarylmethane dye that can bind to ribose type molecules such as DNA in nuclei. Normally, dead adherent cells will detach from cell culture plates and will be removed from viable cell propulation during washing steps. CV staining can be used to quantify the total DNA of the remaining population and thus determine cell viability. The CV staining is directly proportional to the cell biomass and can be measured at 570 nm. CV staining is a quick and versatile assay for screening cell viability under diverse stimulation or inhibition conditions. BioVision’s CV cell cytotoxicity assay kit is simple, accurate, reproducible and sensitive. It also includes Doxorubicin as a positive control. This kit offers an excellent and efficient method for in vitro cytotoxicity studies as well as high-throughput drug screening

Can you please let me know what the Solubilization Solution is and what is the purpose of
using it? Is it necessary for the signal detection? Can we still measure the signal if we skip adding the
Solubilization Solution?
The exact name and composition of the Solubilization Solution is proprietary and can’t be disclosed. However,
once the cells are stained, the solubilization solution is added to re-solubilize the stained crystal violet,
because you are drying the plates after crytal violet staining. This helps in more accurate measurement using
spectrophotometry. Therefore, it is recommended to add the Solubilization Solution before measuring the OD.
