Cell proliferation reagent wst 1 assay kit
The Cell Proliferation Reagent (WST-1) assay kit is a colorimetric assay for the quantification of cell proliferation and viability. The kit contains the water-soluble tetrazolium salt WST-1, which is reduced by metabolically active cells to form a colored formazan dye. The absorbance of the formazan dye is directly proportional to the number of viable cells in the sample.

Cell Proliferation Assay with WST-1
Cell Proliferation Assay with WST-1
Reagent WST-1 Assay Kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland).
Briefly, siRNAs transfected cells and control
cells were seeded at a concentration of 3×103 cells per
well in 96-well plates (Corning Inc., NY, USA). For
the indicated time, WST-1 solution was applied at
10 μl per well and incubated for 4 hours at 37˚C and
5% CO2. The absorbance [also called optical density
(OD)] was measured with a microplate ELISA reader
(BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA) at 450 nm. Viability
and inhibition rate were calculated according to the
following equations, respectively. Viability (%)=(OD
treated/OD medium)×100%. Inhibition rate (%)=(1-
OD treated/OD control)×100%.

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.
