Cell Counting Kit-8

Partner: Dojindo EU GmbH

Description:	Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) allows sensitive colorimetric assays for the determination of cell viability in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Dojindo�s highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-8, is reduced by dehydrogenase activities in cells to give a yellow-color formazan dye, which is soluble in the tissue culture media. The amount of the formazan dye, generated by the activities of dehydrogenases in cells, is directly proportional to the number of living cells. The detection sensitivity of CCK-8 is higher than the other tetrazolium salts such as MTT, XTT, MTS or WST-1.
Further Information:	The handling time of Cell Counting Kit-8 is the shortest among its competitors. Only 15 minutes of handling time is needed for Cell Counting Kit-8, whereas longer handling time is required for both MTS and MTT assay.
Synonym Sensitivity:	CCK-8 (WST-8) is the highest sensitive dye for the cell based assay.
Shipping Conditions:	Ship at ambient
Storage:	Store at 0.5 C
Usage:	Research use only

Cell Viability Detection Mechanism with CCK-8

Observation of Cytotoxicity after incubation with each reagent. HeLa cells were incubated with WST-8 (CCK-8), WST-1, or MTS at 24 hours from addition of those reagents.
