Is it possible to use trypan blue to stain a cell monolayer?

08 August 2017 1 4K Report

I wish to determine live/dead cell ratio while the cells are still in a monolayer

Naturally it IS possible to stain a cell monolayer with trypanblue/ to use TB to stain . You should specify your question to get a sufficient answer.....
