Description& Advantages

Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) provides a tool for studying induction and inhibition of cell proliferation in any in vitro model. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) allows very convenient assays by utilizing highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt. WST-8 [2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4- disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt] produces a water-soluble formazan dye upon reduction in the presence of an electron mediator.

CCK-8 is a one-bottle solution, ready to use. CCK-8, being nonradioactive, allows sensitive colorimetric assays for the determination of the number of viable cells in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays.

1. More Sensitive than MTT, MTS, or WST-1

2. No Toxicity to Cell

3. Simple Steps (No Thawing Necessary)

4. Stable One Bottle Solution : 1 year at 4°C
