Updated submission guide!

Hello, and welcome to wikipediapictures! This blog is not run by a bot; I am a human, and I select every photo and tag each post that you will see here (except submissions). Part of what helps me run this blog and continue posting content is your submissions and suggestions. Because I love to see what you guys can find in the vast collections of Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia articles, I have created this new and improved submission guide!

MTT assay

“A 96-well microtiter plate used in an MTT assay. Each column was incubated with different amounts of culture cells, increasing from 500 cells in column 2 (left) to 100.000 cells in column 11 (right), for 72 hours. After a short incubation with MTT, the purple formazan product was extracted using Dimethyl sulfoxide. As can be seen, higher amounts of cells result in higher formazan production and thus a stronger purple colour.” - via Wikimedia Commons
