Crystal violett adhesion screening? - Does it work? (Aug/30/2006 )

I am still looking for fast and reliable test for cell-matrix adhesion. Has anyone experience with the cristal violett method in that field? Is it reliable?

I'm using MTT (for cell viability) on adherent cells. It's reliable. cristal violett is also reliable, but you need to wash well.
