ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for determining the number of cells in cell culture which comprises lysing the cells and incubating the cell lysate with p-nitrophenyl phosphate for a predetermined period of time at acid pH and at 35.degree.-38.degree. C., and then measuring the color development at 400 to 420 nanometers and comparing with a control. The method is accurate, sensitive, and well-suited for automation, and thereby provides for the rapid sampling of large numbers of cell culture where the cells are grown under very sparse conditions.
