The Premix WST-1 enables cell proliferation and cell viability to be measured with a colorimetric assay, based on cleavage of tetrazolium salts by mitochondrial dehydrogenase in viable cells. This product takes the place of RI-labeled nucleoside, and provides a non-RI method for the analysis of cell proliferation or cell viability. Washing and collecting cells is not required, and all procedures, from the culture in small scale to data analysis with a microplate reader, can be carried out in the same microtiter plate.
Features
Ready-to-use colorimetric assay to easily quantify cell growth and viability
Measures cell proliferation in response to growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, & nutrients
