Wst 1 cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in United States, Germany

The WST-1 cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit is a colorimetric assay for the quantification of cell viability and proliferation. The kit utilizes a tetrazolium salt which is reduced by metabolically active cells, resulting in the formation of a colored formazan dye that can be measured spectrophotometrically.

The cytotoxicity of the compound was detected using the WST-1 cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit (Catalog NO: 05015944001, Roche, USA). Vero (2×104 per well), 293T and RD cells (3×104 per well in 100 µl 10% FBS-DMEM medium) were cultured in 96-well plates at 37 °C under 5% CO2, followed by the addition of 50 µl of the compound solution with concentrations ranging from 0.39-100 µM. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 24 h, and then 10 µl of the WST-1 reagent was added to each well. The signals were read at 490 nm with a microplate reader (Bio-Rad, USA). The percentage of viable cells after treatment with the various concentrations of compound was calculated as follows: %inhibition = 100 × (OD490) treated sample / (OD490) cell control sample.

The viability of cells cultured in 96-well plates was then measured using the WST-1 cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) and according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Absorbance at the experimental wavelength of 440 nm and the reference wavelength of ~630 nm were monitored using Spectra Max M5 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA).

Quantifying Cell Viability with WST-1 Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell viability was determined with a WST-1 cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). The cells were seeded in 96-well plates with 100 μL of culture medium, then transfected with miRNA mimic and miRNA inhibitor. The medium was replenished at specific time points, and 10 μL of WST-1 solution added before incubation for 1 h at 37°C. Subsequently, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm.

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.
