The Use of Baker’s Yeast in the Resazurin Reduction Test: A Simple, Low-Cost Method for Determining Cell Viability in Proliferation and Cytotoxicity Assays
Cell viability assays require expensive commercial testing kits and sophisticated cell culture techniques. Thus, a laboratory activity for testing the cellular proliferative and cytotoxic effects of certain substances using baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in resazurin reduction test (RRT)...
