Abstract
A method for determining the percentage of live cells or viability of cells in a sample is disclosed. In this method, a cell-containing sample is contacted with hydroxyethyldisulfide and the amount of mercaptoethanol produced is measured. The amount of mercaptoethanol is then compared to reference standard curves to determine the percentage of live cells in the sample or the viability of the cells.
