Cck 8 assay
The CCK-8 assay is a colorimetric method used to measure the metabolic activity of cells. It utilizes the tetrazolium salt WST-8 [2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt] to produce a water-soluble formazan dye upon reduction by dehydrogenases in viable cells. The amount of formazan dye generated is directly proportional to the number of living cells, providing a quantitative assessment of cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and viability.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
