Relative cell viability
after culturing with different concentrations
of Au-SiNW nanohybrids varying from 0.000, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075,
0.100, 0.250, to 0.500 mg/mL for 24 h at 37 °C. After the addition
of MTT reagent and 4 h incubation at 37 °C, stop solution was
added and followed by overnight incubation. The absorbance of each
sample was recorded at 560 nm to determine the cell proliferation
rate.
