WST-8 or Cell Count Kit-8 (CCK-8)
TribioScience’s Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) is a colorimetric assay to quantify the viable cells, consisting of the tetrazolium salt and the electron mediator 1-mthoxyPMS. The working principle is based on dehydrogenase activity detection. The generated NADH from the reaction of dehydrogenase enzymes and the substrates oxidizes the 1-methoxyPM. The reduced 1- methoxyPMS further oxidizes the tetrazolium salt (WST-8) in the CCK-8 assay kit, forming the yellow formazan dye. The dye color can then be quantified by measuring the absorbance at...
