Cell Counting Kit-8, CCK-8, 1 pack=500T

Product Description

Adamas-Life’s Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) is a cutting-edge solution for rapid, accurate, and sensitive cell viability and proliferation assays. Leveraging a water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-8), the kit delivers a highly stable colorimetric readout without the need for additional reagents or steps. Designed for ease of use, it minimizes sample handling while providing precise, reproducible results in a variety of cell-based applications. Whether for drug screening, cytotoxicity tests, or cell health monitoring, CCK-8 supports high-throughput workflows, ensuring consistent, reproducible results for cutting-edge cell biology and pharmacology research.

Adamas-life® Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) contains WST-8 [2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2Htetrazolium, monosodium salt]. Under the presence of the electron coupling reagent 1-Methoxy PMS, WST-8 is reduced by mitochondrial dehydrogenases to form a highly water-soluble orange-yellow formazan product. The amount of formazan, 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. CCK-8 is widely applicable for drug screening, cell proliferation assays, cytotoxicity assays, and tumor drug sensitivity tests.
