Excerpt

For example, tetrazolium dyes, such as 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), can be used to quantify the number of living cells present in a sample. This is useful for the determination of the toxic or antiproliferative activity of certain conditions that a cell might be exposed to, such as the administration of anticancer compounds. Inside of an active, living cell, tetrazolium salts, such as MTT, are reduced to brightly-colored formazan dye counterparts....
