Protocol: Evaluation of Cell Viability Using CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay with P3D Scaffolds
Application
This protocol explains how to evaluate cell viability using CellTiter-Glo 3D cell viability assay with Ossiform P3D Scaffolds.
This assay lyses all cells and measures the amount of ATP present. It works by mixing cells in media 1:1 with Assay Reagent and measuring output luminescence. The output requires the use of black/opaque 96-well plates with clear bottoms. This procedure describes how to use this kit with scaffolds. Please also refer to manufacturer Promega’s protocol.
| Plate type | Media volume | Assay Reagent volume |
| 96-well plate | 100 uL | 100 uL |
| 24-well plate | 200 uL | 200 uL |
| 12-well plate | 500 uL | 500 uL |
| 6-well plate | 1500 uL | 1500 uL |

Notes before starting and general advice on material handling
- All handling of the P3D Scaffolds products should be performed using gloves, according to the standard aseptic methods.
- The scaffolds are supplied sterile by dry heat sterilization and remains sterile until opened.
Procedure
The day before performing the procedure: place Assay Reagent at 4C to allow for slow thawing.
Before you start:
- Place Assay Reagent and cell plates at RT to equilibrate for at least 30 min.
- Gently invert assay reagent bottle to mix before use.
- Make aliquot of assay reagent by calculating the amount needed.
- If necessary, remove media from wells to achieve volumes listed in table above.
Procedure:
- Add Assay Reagent to each well, using multichannel pipette if possible. Volume of Assay Reagent should be equal to the volume media already present in wells.
- Place plate at RT on a plate shaker at 300 rpms for 5 min.
- Remove plate from plate shaker and incubate plate at RT for 25 min.
- Pipette 200 uL lysate to opaque plate as quickly as possible.
- Measure luminescence using a plate reader with integration time 0,25-1 seconds. Settings may vary between instruments.
