Example of IC50 determination. HeLa cells were treated with a dose titration of Staurosporine for 4 hours in complete media. Cells were cultured and treated in a 96-well cell culture microtiter plate. Lysates were prepared by direct in-well lysis without media removal: 2X Cell Extraction Buffer PTR was added to an equal volume of media and then resulting lysate was used directly in the Cleaved PARP SimpleStepTM ELISA assay. Raw values for triplicate measurements are plotted. The calculated IC50 is 0.77 µM.
