Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Trypanosoma brucei Brucei Lysis Assay
Description:  Briefly, the AlamarBlue active compound, the resazurin, a blue, water soluble, non-toxic and cell permeable molecule, which can be followed by absorbance, is reduced by various metabolic pathways into resorufin, a red compound which can be followed by either absorbance or fluorescence. The assay allows the calculation of the percent viability (percent of living Trypanosomes remaining in each well) at the end of a lysis relative to the untreated condition by interpolation of fluorescent values (FLU) on a standard curve with a known amount of seeded trypanosome/well.
