What is Sulforhodamine B assay?
The sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay was developed by Skehan and colleagues to measure drug-induced cytotoxicity and cell proliferation for large-scale drug-screening applications. The SRB assay possesses a colorimetric end point and is nondestructive and indefinitely stable.
Which formula is used for cell viability for dye exclusion test?
3.3. The percentage of cell viability is calculated using the following equation: % Viability = A 450 − A 650 of test cells A 450 − A 650 of control cells × 100 .
How does SRB assay work?
SRB Assay / Sulforhodamine B Assay Kit ab235935 relies on the stoichiometric binding of SRB (Sulforhodamine B) dye to proteins under mild acidic conditions and its subsequent extraction under basic conditions. The amount of dye extracted is a proxy for cell mass and thus the number of cells in a sample.
How is sulforhodamine B ( SRB ) assay used for cell density determination?
DOI: 10.1038/nprot.2006.179 Abstract The sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay is used for cell density determination, based on the measurement of cellular protein content. The method described here has been optimized for the toxicity screening of compounds to adherent cells in a 96-well format.

What is the electrostatic response of sulforhodamine B?
Sulforhodamine B, an anionic aminoxanthene dye, can form an electrostatic complex with the basic amino acid residues of proteins under moderately acid conditions, which provides a sensitive linear response with cell number and cellular protein measured at cellular densities ranging from 1 to 200% of confluence.
