Cell counting kit 8 (cck8)

Manufactured by Meilun
Sourced in China

The Cell Counting Kit-8 is a colorimetric assay for the determination of cell viability and cell proliferation. It utilizes a water-soluble tetrazolium salt that is reduced by cellular dehydrogenase activities, producing a colored formazan dye. The amount of the formazan dye generated is directly proportional to the number of living cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The viability of cells grown and treated with 5-FIC, IC, or 5-FU in 96 well plates was examined by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (Meilun bio) according to the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. Briefly, cells were washed with PBS before 10% CCK-8 diluted in DMEM medium was added to each well. After 2h of incubation at 37°C. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm by Thermo Scientific Varioskan® Flash (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cell viability was determined based on the equation: viability= [(As - Ab)/(Ac - Ab)] ×100% (As: experiment; Ac: control; Ab: blank).
For the dose-response curves of 5-FU and 5-FIC, the CT26 cells were treated by 316uM to 1000uM of 5-FIC or 0.1uM to 50uM 5-FU in 96 well plates. After 48 hours, cell viability are observed by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (Meilun bio) according to the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. For the dose-response curve of converted 5-FIC, the 293T cells were transfected with the plasmid encoding wildtype VCZ, and then were treated with varying concentrations of 5-FIC (30.15uM to 2000uM). The supernatant (which contained the converted 5-FIC) were collected after 48h and were used to treat CT26 cells. Cell viability was determined based on the equation: viability = [(As - Ab)/(Ac - Ab)] ×100% (As: experiment; Ac: control; Ab: blank).

In brief, CCK‐8 assay was applied to measure the cell proliferation according to the Cell Counting Kit‐8 manufacturer's protocol (Meilunbio, catalog #MA0218). For migration and invasion assays, the transwell filter inserts with a pore size of 8 μm were coated without or with matrigel (1:10 dilution), respectively. 5 × 104 cells (for migration) and 1 × 105 cells (for invasion) were, respectively, seeded in serum‐free medium in the upper chamber. After 24 h incubation at 37°C, cells in the upper chamber were carefully removed with a cotton swab and the cells that had traversed the membrane were fixed in methanol, stained with Crystal violet (0.04% in water; 100 μL) and counted the permeating cells under the inverted microscope and photographed.

The in vitro cytotoxicity of nanofiber membranes was investigated through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay (Dalian Meilun Biotechnology Co., Ltd., China) in L929 cell line. Sterilized nanofiber membranes were incubated with High-Glucose Dulbecco’s Minimum Essential Medium (H-DMEM, Hyclone, USA.) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gemini, USA) and 1% antibiotic (Solarbio, China) at 37°C for 2 days to prepare leaching solution of nanofiber membranes. L929 cells were seeded in 96-well plates with a density of 3 × 103 cells/well and cultured at 37°C for 24 h. Then, L929 cells in 96-well plates were cultured with the leaching solution for another 24 h. The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Bone marrow stromal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from SD rats and the 4th passage was used.39 (link) The cell proliferation of MSCs seeded on stereocomplexed nanofiber membranes was measured by CCK-8 assay. MSCs were seeded in 96-well plates with a density of 5 × 103 cells/well and each well of the plate was covered by stereocomplex PLA/TTCP45. Low-Glucose Dulbecco’s Minimum Essential Medium (L-DMEM, Hyclone, USA) containing 10% FBS were used to culture MSCs. After cultured for 1, 3, and 5 days, live/dead staining and SEM images of MSCs cultured on stereocomplexed PLA/TTCP45 were observed by fluorescent microscopy and Hitachi SU3500 SEM (Hitachi, Japan).

The effects of PC and RES on cancer cell proliferations were performed by CCK8 (Cell Counting Kit‐8, meilunbio). Cancer cells in their logarithmic growth phase were seeded in a 96‐well plate at a density of 9000 cells/well for 24 h. Then, the cell medium with fresh medium containing PC and RES was replaced with different concentrations for 24 h. And then, cell proliferation activity was measured at different time periods according to the instructions of the CCK‐8 kit.

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.
