100 tests; 1 mL · CK04-01
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Product overview
Single-bottle WST-8 reagent measures cellular reducing activity through soluble formazan formation. Its signal supports viability and proliferation studies but does not independently establish cell death. The manufacturer identifies Dojindo as the original developer. Assay conditions require cell-specific optimization; intended-use status is unknown.
Product type: Metabolic viability assays.
Recorded product specifications: Target panel: Cellular dehydrogenase activity; Assay readout: Colorimetric absorbance at 450 nm.
Workflow context: Metabolic viability assays report enzyme-dependent activity; assess changes in metabolism separately from changes in cell number or membrane integrity.
Before choosing an alternative, compare biological endpoint, assay mechanism, signal interference, sample handling and detector compatibility. Products in the same category are comparison candidates, not validated interchangeable replacements.
Manufacturer catalog number and pack: CK04-01 (100 tests; 1 mL).
