It is a water-soluble yellow dye that living cells reduce to an insoluble purple formazan, but dead cells do not. The amount of colour is used to estimate the number of viable cells. The signal also depends on how active the cells are, not only on how many are alive, so the assay has also been used to measure cell activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:8px 0 18px

purple formazan has been seen as granules inside cells and as needle-like crystals at the cell surface. Some papers describe the formazan as blue. The formazan is dissolved in an organic solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), isopropanol or ethanol, and its absorbance is read near 570 nm on a microplate reader.
