Product Name:

Cell Counting Kit 8 (WST-8 / CCK8)

Catalog Number:

ab228554

We used this kit for cell viability microplate assay using various cell lines and expression conditions. We got consistent and reproducible results.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell viability assay

Starting Material

Mammalian cells in a 96 wells plate, treat with 10 uL of solution from the assay kit, incubate for 4 hrs at 37 deg C

Tips

Incubation time should be optimized for each cell line.

Results Summary

We measured the absorbance at 460 nm upon incubation. Values were consistent in replicates. It's better than a conventional MTT assay.
