Description
Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8 / WST-8)
The Assay Genie Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8 / WST-8) is highly sensitive 1-step kit to quantify the number of live viable cells directly in cell culture supernatants and is an excellent choice for proliferation and cytotoxicity studies.

This technology is based on the reduction of WST-8 Tetrazolium salt by mitochondrial dehydrogenases to an orange product which is directly proportional to the number of viable cells when measured at 450nm.
WST-8 is highly soluble in cell culture medium with a low cytotoxicity profile and can be added directly to cultured cells with no pre-treatments or wash steps. It is extremely powerful for sensitive experiments especially those requiring longer incubation steps such as 24 hour or 48 hours.
This kit offers a much higher sensitivity and lower cytotoxicity than other Tetrazolium reagents such as MTS, MTT or XTT.
