Automation of cell proliferation assay sulforhodamine B fot the screening of stilbene derivatives
The SRB assay was implemented on a TECAN Genesis workstation by optimizing cell numbers and liquid handling parameters. Anticancer drugs vinblastine, doxorubicin and 5-fluorouracil were used for standardizing the assay with a DU-145 cell line. To screen the antiproliferative activities of a series of stilbene derivatives, altogether 121 different stilbene structures, a plate layout was designed on 96-well format.
