Analytical Curve When Adding NCL
The analytical curve created for the DNA-cell dilution series
using NCL on Invitrogen's Picogreen indicated linearity in a wide range.
The analytical curve created for the ATP-cell dilution series
using NCL on Promega's CellTiter Glo indicated linearity in a wide range.
HT29 was submitted to the spheroid cultivation procedure at various seeding densities.
On the 5th day of the cultivation, the spheroid was dissolved with NCL
and the cell number was measured for both systems.
The analytical curves were created from the cell dilution series
and the DNA/ATP amounts were converted into the cell number.
The CelltitterGlo (ATP) system's cell number was estimated to be lower
than that of the Picogreen (DNA) system.
Here the implication is that the intracellular ATP amount decreases
when employing spheroid cultivation.
The CelltitterGlo (ATP) system is suitable to relative measurement,
whereas the Picogreen (DNA) system can also used for measureing the absolute number.
