CCK-8 Cell Counting Kit for Proliferation & Cytotoxicity - Trusted China Suppliers & Factory Solutions
More Details
Water-Soluble Formazan
High Sensitivity
Wide Linear Range
Superior Stability
WST-8 is an upgrade replacement of MTT, and has obvious advantages over MTT or other MTT similar products such as XTT, MTS, etc. Firstly, Mazan, which is reduced by some dehydrogenases in the mitochondria, is not water-soluble and requires a specific solution to dissolve it. However, formazan produced by WST-8, XTT and MTS is water-soluble and can eliminate the subsequent dissolution steps. Secondly, Formazan produced by WST-8 is more soluble than Formazan produced by XTT and MTS. Thirdly, WST-8 is more stable than XTT and MTS, which makes the experimental results more stable. In addition, WST-8 has a wider linear range and higher sensitivity than MTT and XTT.
CCK method is widely used in drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug susceptibility assay and biological factor activity detection.
Forlab Reagent is a reagent brand under Bioland, with products including fetal bovine serum, various culture media, cryoprotectants, reagent kits, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the main advantage of WST-8 over MTT in cell viability assays?
WST-8 produces a water-soluble formazan product, eliminating the need for the additional dissolution step required with MTT. It also offers greater sensitivity, a wider linear detection range, and superior reagent stability compared to MTT.
Q
How does WST-8 compare to XTT and MTS reagents?
While XTT and MTS also produce water-soluble formazan, WST-8 generates a more soluble formazan product and is more chemically stable than both XTT and MTS. This improved stability leads to more reproducible and reliable experimental results.
Q
What are the main applications of the FORLAB CCK-8 Kit?
The FORLAB CCK-8 Kit is widely used for drug screening, cell proliferation assays, cytotoxicity assays, tumor drug susceptibility testing, and biological factor activity detection.
Q
What are the recommended storage conditions for the CCK-8 Kit?
