I have noticed that my controls containing Alamar Blue + media only are reduced by 10% (expected due to loss of buffering capacity [comparing to Alamar blue + media with cells + no test compound]). My MICs plateau at 90% and never go any lower.

When using absorbance measures, how do I factor this error into account? I get the same plateau effect when using the equation that contains Alamar blue + media + cells (test wells) in the numerator and Alamar blue + media only (negative control wells) in the denominator.
