The cell proliferation kit (XTT) is widely used in cell biology for the study of growth factors, cytokines and media components, for the screening of cytotoxic agents and for lymphocyte activation.


The need for a reliable, sensitive and quantitative assay that would enable analysis of a large number of samples led to the development of methods, such as:

  • use of radioactive thymidine to label DNA in live cells
  • use of Brdu to label DNA in live cells (as a substitute for radioactive thymidine)

The advantages of using MD Bioproducts Cell Proliferation Kit (XTT) can be summarized with the following attributes:

  • easy-to-use: there is no requirement for additional reagents and/or the cell washing procedures
  • speed: multiwell plates and an ELISA reader can be used for reading
  • sensitivity: can be assayed even in low cell concentrations
  • accuracy: dye absorbance is proportional to the number of cells in each well
  • safety: there is no need for radioactive isotopes
