The instaCELL Cytotox assay kit is designed for labs that need flexibility without compromising reliability.

Simply keep your instaCELLs frozen and run your assay within 3 days. No prior cultivation required.

How the assay works:

Extracts from your medical device components are incubated with L-929 fibroblast cells for 24 hours. Cell viability is then measured using detection reagents, which are metabolized by living cells. Results are evaluated against a cytotoxic control, indicating your component's cytotoxicity.
