Product Detail
Company Profile

Abbkine Cell counting kit-8 is a colorimetric assay kit for cell number counting, cell prolifiration and cytotoxicity assays. By adding CCK-8 directly to the cell media, CCK-8 kit shows fast, high-throughput screening without a solubilization process, obtaining highly reproducible and accurate results.

Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) uses the reagent WST-8 as its substrate. The highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-8 is cleaved to a soluble formazan by cellular dehydrogenases. This bioreduction is accomplished by NADPH or NADH produced by dehydrogenase enzymes in metabolically active cells. The amount of formazan dye product directly correlates to the number of metabolically active cells in the culture.

The results obtained by using the cck8 show higher sensitivity than methods that use tetrazolium compounds such as MTT, MTS, XTT or WST-1, with lesser time and toxicity.
1. More convenient with less than 15 mins in 3 steps
2. More sensitive than MTT, MTS, XTT or WST-1
3. Less toxic, compatible for other downstream assays
4. High quality product with affordable price
