I am conducting experiments on hormone secretion and hypothesize my compounds induced secretion in a calcium-independent manner. Can I incubate cells in HBSS without Ca and Mg for about 4 hours? Is this a good design?
I just tried this out and checked cell viability using trypan blue exclusion and MTT. Cells were fine during the test period.
To be on the safe side, I would eliminate only one of Ca and Mg for four hours.
Ok. Thanks. I think that's a better idea
Magnesium is essential for many metabolic functions in cells. It may be quite toxic to exclude it for more than 15 minutes.
Answer should be based on institutional level
