Use in Cell Culture
Determining the viable cell count is important for calculating dilutions required for the passaging of cells, as well as determining the size and number of flasks needed for the growth time. It is also vital when seeding plates for assays, such as the plaque assay, because the plates need a known number of live replicating cells for the virus to attach to and replicate in, in order to get an accurate result.
