Enhanced Cell Counting Kit 8 (WST-8 / CCK8)

Elabscience(R) Enhanced Cell Counting Kit 8 (WST-8 / CCK8) is a rapid and highly sensitive kit based on WST-8, which is widely used in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection and it is more sensitive than ordinary CCK8 kit. WST-8 is a compound similar to MTT, which can be reduced to orange formazan by some dehydrogenase in mitochondria in the presence of electron coupling reagent. The more and faster the cells proliferate, the darker the color is, and the more cytotoxic, the lighter the color is. For the same cells, there is a linear relationship between the depth of color and the number of cells.
