Alamar blue assay

The Alamar Blue assay is a laboratory method used to measure cell health, growth, or viability. It involves adding a special dye to cells; healthy, living cells can convert this dye into a form that produces a measurable color change or fluorescence. By assessing the color change, scientists can determine how many cells are alive and functioning. This assay is useful in research to test the effects of drugs, toxins, or other conditions on cell survival in a straightforward, non-invasive way.
