Cell viability assays and BrdU detection antibodies are ideal for the determination of proliferation, cell cycle, or cell survival, based on a total cell population. Cell viability assesses healthy cells in a sample, with no distinction between dividing or quiescent cells. An increase in cell viability indicates cell growth, while a decrease in viability can generally be interpreted as the result of either toxic effects of compounds/agents or suboptimal culture conditions.
