What makes measuring cell health important to understanding cellular function, studying disease or drug impacts, and planning future experiments? In this text we explore how to select the appropriate methods to assess cell health based on the desired measurements, the model system, cell type and number, and the use of cell culture or tissue samples. Your choice of assay may be influenced by available instrumentation, and often combining various methods yields the best results. Explore available instrumentation to help you review your assay options, an overview of cell viability assays, what apoptosis is and when it occurs, and more.
