To introduce a rapid colorimetric method for assessing the viability of osteosarcoma cells after chemotherapy.
Colorimetric assay and automatic microplate scanning spectrophotometer were used for assaying the viability of osteosarcoma cells.
Close correlation was found between the absorbance at 570 nm of the formazan products and the number of viable osteosarcoma cells.
An effective, sensitive and convenient colorimetric assay has been established to assess the survival of osteosarcoma cells following chemotherapy.
