Cell counting kit 8 regent

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

The Cell Counting Kit-8 reagent is a colorimetric assay used for the determination of cell viability and cytotoxicity. It utilizes a water-soluble tetrazolium salt that is reduced by cellular dehydrogenases, producing a yellow-colored formazan dye. The amount of the formazan dye, which is directly proportional to the number of living cells, can be measured by absorbance at 450 nm.

In total, 5 × 103 cells were grown in 96-well plates and incubated for 0, 1, 2 and 3 days. At indicated time, 100 μL Cell Counting Kit-8 regent (Beyotime) was added and incubated for another 2 hours. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm using Microplate Spectrophotometer (BioTek Instruments, Inc, Winooski, Vermont).

10 μL Cell Counting Kit-8 regent (Beyotime, C0038) was added to 5 × 103 cells per well at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h. Cells were collected, centrifuged at a low speed (JIDI-5R, Guangzhou JiDi Instrument Co., Ltd., China). The optical density was measured with an enzyme-labeled instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific) 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.
