The XTT assay is an assay used for cellular metabolic activity measuring as an indicator of cell cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation.<\/span> XTT assay stands for (2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) which is a tetrazolium-based compound. XTT is a colorless or slightly yellow compound and becomes brightly orange when reduced.<\/span> In this article we will explain XTT assay experiment virtual lab from PaxiLabs in detail, to understand the XTT assay protocol, principle, procedures, the results and the importance of the experiment.<\/span> Before talking about the XTT assay experiment from PraxiLabs. Let’s talk an overview about cytotoxicity<\/span> \"xtt Cytotoxicity is the toxicity caused by the chemotherapeutic agent’s action on living cells<\/a>.\u00a0Cytotoxicity can be caused by the drug itself, such as through the disruption of DNA synthesis, repair or transcription; or by its breakdown products or metabolites. Cytotoxicity tests are very important specifically in nanoparticles because they help in the determination of the proposed biomedical use.<\/span> Cytotoxicity refers to the amount of damage a chemotherapeutic agent causes to cells. There are many methods involved for cytotoxicity and cell viability determination like:<\/span> \"\u00a0MTT<\/span><\/p>\n
