GlossaryCytotoxicity Assay

measures how toxic a substance is to living cells

A Cytotoxicity Assay is a laboratory test used to evaluate the toxicity of a substance on living cells. It measures how many cells survive after exposure to the substance, helping researchers determine the potential harmful effects of chemicals, drugs, or other agents. This test is crucial in drug development and safety assessments.
