Understanding the Cell Counting Kit-8 (WST-8 / CCK-8)
The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), also known as WST-8, is a widely used, colorimetric assay that enables researchers to measure cell viability and proliferation. It is based on the reduction of water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-8) by dehydrogenase enzymes in cells, producing a water-soluble formazan dye. The quantity of formazan produced is directly proportional to the … Read more
