Cell proliferation reagent wst 1 assay kit

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Switzerland

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.

Experiments using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) methodology were carried out using the Cell Proliferation Reagent (WST-1) assay kit (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. In brief, for Daoy and D556 cells, 2000 cells per well were seeded in a 96-well plate and incubated with the indicated inhibitors. After 5 days, 10% (v/v) WST-1 reagent was added to each well and absorbance at 450nm was analyzed (using absorbance at 600nm as a reference wavelength), using an Epoch Plate reader and Gen5 software from BioTek Instruments Inc. For proliferation, cells were counted using an automated cell counter (Scepter, Millipore).

Cell Proliferation Assay with WST-1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell proliferation was measured by a Cell Proliferation
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%.

Cell Viability Assay for Alpelisib and MNKi

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Cell Proliferation Reagent (WST-1) assay kit (Roche) was used to determine cell viability as described previously (26 (link)). Briefly, Daoy and D556 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 2000 cells/well in the presence of alpelisib (10 µM) and/or MNKi (10 µM) using DMSO as vehicle control. After 5 days, WST-1 (10% v/v) was added and absorbance at 450 nm was analyzed (absorbance at 600 nm served as a reference wavelength), using an Epoch microplate spectrophotometer and Gen5 software (BioTek).

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.
