Cytotoxicity

Assays Cytotoxicity assays are an important tool for measuring the effects of drugs, toxins, and other agents on cells. These assays measure the viability of cells following exposure to a substance, providing information about the toxic properties of a compound. Cytotoxicity assays can be used in basic research, as well as in drug discovery and drug safety assessment. By providing a measure of cytotoxicity, these assays can help researchers select safer drug candidates or identify potential toxic compounds.
