Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) Plus

Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) Plus is a convenient and sensitive cell proliferation/toxicity assay. It uses a highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-8, which is reduced in the presence of electron-coupled reagents by the abundant dehydrogenases in living cells to the formazan, an orange dye that is soluble in culture media. The amount of formazan produced by dehydrogenase is directly and linearly related to the number of viable cells.

This kit is optimized, only requiring 0.5-1 h to complete the detection, which is more sensitive, faster, and has a wider linear range than the common CCK-8.
