What minimum % of cell viability in Polyhydroxyalkanoates can be consider that polyhydroxyalkanoates are noncytotoxic in nature?

08 August 2016 1 7K Report

I did MTT assay to check whether my extracted PHA is non-cytotoxic or not.So can anybody tell me what is the minimum % of cell viability that can be consider the particular material is non-cytotoxic ?
