Assessment of hepatocytes viability, proliferation and functionality
AlamarBlue® and PicoGreen® assays
HepG2 metabolic activities, proliferation and growth and scaffold cytotoxicity were assessed using alamarBlue® assay (Molecular Probes®, Invitrogen®) on days 1, 3, 7 and 14. A standard curve was worked out experimentally which suggested 4 h incubation period for the HepG2 cell line to be the optimum timing to measure the FI for alamarBlue®. Further quantification of the cell-line proliferation was made by quantitating double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) using PicoGreen® assay (Quant-iT™ PicoGreen® dsDNA Assay Kit, Molecular Probes®, Invitrogen®) on culture D10 of experiments on PMS and on culture D7 and D14 of experiments on the 3D scaffolds.

FI was measured using a fluorescence plate reader (Fluoroskan Ascent® FL, and Ascent Software, Thermo Labsystems, Helsinki, Finland) at 530 nm excitation wavelength and 620 nm emission wavelength for alamarBlue® and at 485 nm excitation and 538 nm emission for PicoGreen®.

About nuclease-free water in DNA quantification

Hi everyone! I have a question about DNA quantification. Do I need to use nuclease-free water for DNA quantification and are there any repercussions if I don’t use any?
