Can CCK8 stain live cells?
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.
