FR Recognition Number 15-63
Standard
ASTM  F2739-19
Standard Guide for Quantifying Cell Viability and Related Attributes within Biomaterial Scaffolds
Scope/Abstract
1.1 This guide is a resource of cell viability test methods that can be used to assess the number and distribution of viable and non-viable cells within porous and non-porous, hard or soft biomaterial scaffolds, such as those used in tissue-engineered medical products (TEMPs).

1.2 In addition to providing a compendium of available techniques, this guide describes materials-specific interactions with the cell assays that can interfere with accurate cell viability analysis, and includes guidance on how to avoid or account for, or both, scaffold material/cell viability assay interactions.

1.3 These methods can be used for 3-D scaffolds containing cells that have been cultured in vitro or for scaffold/cell constructs that are retrieved after implantation in living organisms.

1.4 This guide does not propose acceptance criteria based on the application of cell viability test methods.
