This technology is based on the reduction of WST-8 Tetrazolium salt by mitochondrial dehydrogenases to an orange product which is directly proportional to the number of viable cells when measured at 450nm.

WST-8 is highly soluble in cell culture medium with a low cytotoxicity profile and can be added directly to cultured cells with no pre-treatments or wash steps. It is extremely powerful for sensitive experiments especially those requiring longer incubation steps such as 24 hour or 48 hours.

This kit offers a much higher sensitivity and lower cytotoxicity than other Tetrazolium reagents such as MTS, MTT or XTT.
