ASSAY ChARACTERISTICS
Proliferation assays are widely used in cell biology for the study of growth
factors, cytokines, nutrients and for the screening of cytotoxic or chemotherapeutic agents. The EZ4U cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay

culture medium and can be measured with a standard colorimetric reader.
The EZ4U system is well suited for a variety of biological tests, where cell
viability is of importance. It offers advantages over conventional dye or 3H
incorporation assays. Due to its soluble end products it is easier and faster
to perform than other non-radioactive cell viability assays. Furthermore,
because the assay procedure is identical to the Thymidine incorporation
procedure, no changes in test protocols are necessary. An important
benefit is the possibility of an ongoing cultivation after cell number determination and easy to adapt incubation times due to the non-toxic substrate.
