Cell counting kit 8 cck 8

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) is a colorimetric assay for the determination of cell viability and cytotoxicity. It utilizes a water-soluble tetrazolium salt that is reduced by cellular dehydrogenases, resulting in the formation of a yellow-colored formazan dye. The amount of formazan dye generated is directly proportional to the number of living cells in the sample.

Cell Viability Assay Protocol

The cell viability detection was performed according to the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) (BD Pharmingen, USA) method [20 (link)]. Cells were seeded in 200-μL medium, and the cell density was adjusted to 5 × 103 cells per well in 96-well plate. One hundred microliters of culture medium was pipetted into the wells of 96-well plates as the blank control group. The plates were kept in an incubator at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 24 h. Briefly, after the treatment, 10 μL of CCK-8 (Kumamoto, Japan) was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 1 h. The optical density (OD) was measured by microplate reader (Tecan; Spectra Flour Plus) at 450 nm. The procedure was carried out thrice to obtain the mean of the collected readings. The percentage of inhibition of proliferation was calculated by (1 − mean OD for drug group/mean OD for control group) × 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.
