CellTiter-Glo® Measures ATP, A Key Biomarker of Cell Health

The CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay is a homogeneous method of determining the number of viable cells in culture based on quantitation of the ATP present, an indicator of metabolically active cells. The CellTiter-Glo® Assay is designed for use with multiwell formats, making it ideal for automated high-throughput screening (HTS), cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. The homogeneous assay procedure involves adding the single reagent (CellTiter-Glo® Reagent) directly to cells cultured in serum-supplemented medium. Cell washing, removal of medium and multiple pipetting steps are not required. The system detects as few as 15 cells/well in a 384-well format in 10 minutes after adding reagent and mixing.

The homogeneous "add-mix-measure" format results in cell lysis and generation of a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of ATP present. The amount of ATP is directly proportional to the number of cells present in culture. The CellTiter-Glo® Assay generates a "glow-type" luminescent signal, which has a half-life generally greater than five hours, depending on cell type and medium used. The extended half-life eliminates the need to use reagent injectors and provides flexibility for continuous or batch mode processing of multiple plates. The unique homogeneous format avoids errors that may be introduced by other ATP measurement methods that require multiple steps.

The CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay is a popular and trusted method used in a wide range of applications.

Notes

Using 100μl of CellTiter-Glo® Reagent per assay in a 96-well format, Cat.# G7570 is sufficient to perform 100 assays; Cat.# G7571 and G7572, 1,000 assays; Cat.# G7573, 10,000 assays. Using 25μl of CellTiter-Glo® Reagent per assay in a 384-well format, Cat.# G7570 is sufficient to perform 400 assays; Cat.# G7571 and G7572, 4,000 assays; Cat.# G7573, 40,000 assays.
