Hi,
Mostly likely it the serum proteins in your media that are precipatating.
This has always been a shortcoming of this assay. Several groups have developed
modifications of the assay. Furthermore there are several other tetrazolium dyes on
the market these days some of which are less toxic. A good deal of this information
is summerized in an application note distributed by Molecular Devices (800)
635-5577.
