| Product name | SuperKine™ Maximum Sensitivity Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) |
| Applications notes | Wst-8 was an upgrade of MTT and was reduced by mitochondrial dehydrogenase in the presence of electron-coupled reagents to form a highly water-soluble orange dirty product (Formazan). |
| Formulation | Liquid solution |
| Kit components | Ready-to-use CCK-8 solution |
| Features & Benefits | •High sensitivity: More accurate detection results; •Good stability: Can be stored at -20℃ for more than 2 years; •High safety: Less cytotoxicity, almost no impact on subsequent experiments. |
| Storage instructions | Store at 4℃ for 12 months away from light, at least 24 months at -20℃ |
| Shipping | Gel pack with blue ice. |
| Precautions | The reagent is only used in the field of scientific research, not suitable for clinical diagnosis or other purposes. |
| Background | CCK-8 allows very convenient assays by utilizing highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt-WST-8. WST-8 is reduced by dehydrogenases in cells to give an orange colored product (formazan), which is soluble in the tissue culture medium. CCK-8, being nonradioactive, allows sensitive colorimetric assays for the determination of the number of viable cells in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. |
Fig.1 Comparison between SuperKine™ Maximum Sensitivity Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) (Cat # : BMU106-EN) and three international brands A, B and C in the detection of HEK293 cells with different number of living cells was performed. The results showed that the SuperKine™ Maximum Sensitivity Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) had the best sensitivity.
It is pink.
Filters between 450 nm and 490 nm can also be used.
Yes. Add moderate CCK-8 solution (10% of the medium volume) to each well.
This product cannot be used in prokaryotes, bacteria do not have a formed nucleus.
No. Because the main component of CCK-8 is a water-soluble tetrazole salt ( WST-8 ), and the electrons in living cells are exchanged on the WST-8 medium through the electronic carrier 1-Methoxy PMS. Since the generated zan is also highly water-soluble, CCK-8 cannot stain the cells.
It has good stability and can be stored at -20°C in the dark for more than 2 years.
