Preparation
- grow cells in 96 well plate
- use TB-medium
- incubate for 24 h / 48 h
Washing and staining
- remove liquid
- wash wells with sterile water (3 times)
- add 150 µl crystal violet solution (1%, in water)
- incubate for 20 min
- remove crystal violet solution
- wash wells until liquid is uncoloured
- dry wells
Plate reader measurement
- add 200 µl ethanol (98%)
- incubate for 1 h, while shaking the plate (the crystal violet has to be dissolved)
- measure absorbance at 595 nm
