Background: Cancer is a common disease, and the choice of treatment becomes more difficult over time due to chemotherapy resistant in cancer cells. To improve the in vitroassay and the individual cancer treatment, a luminescence-based endpoint assay, CellTiter Glo 2.0 was compared with the currently in use fluorescence endpoint assay, fluorometric microculture cytotoxic assay. Aim: The aim of this study was to validate and compare the CellTiter Glo 2.0 assay with awell-established method (FMCA) and MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl) -2,5-diphenyl-2Htetrazolium bromide] assay. Moreover, investigate whether the generated data can be used as a reference database for validation of patient samples in the future. Materials and methods: The validation was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from different healthy donors and two cell lines (HCT116-wt and HT-29) of colorectal cancer carcinoma were ordered frozen from American Type Culture Collection. Analysis was also done in solid samples (ovarian and kidney cancer cells). To get as correct evaluation as possible all materials were analyzed in parallel between the two methods. Results and conclusion: A clear trend was observed when using CellTiter Glo 2.0 assay,post FMCA directly on tumor cells. This setup, makes it possible to collect reference data in the future. In addition, a high spread of the survival index data was noted between the two methods. The reason is still unknown but could be due to the low number of tested tumor cells, therefore more tumor cells need to be tested in future studies
