Description
- This product is supplied as a ready-to-use reagent for the measurement of relative cell number. Reduction of the water-soluble tetrazolium salt WST-8 by the cell membrane-permeable electron carrier 1-MePMS converts it to a highly colored form which can be detected using a plate reader fitted with a 460 nm absorbance filter. As 1-MePMS is itself reduced by intracellular NADH/NADPH, and NADH/NADPH concentration is relatively constant over the course of the cell cycle, the amount of reduced WST-8 and therefore the degree of color change can be used to determine relative cell number,
 
Direction for Use
-             
- Prepare cell samples in a 96 well plate (do not remove medium).
 - Apply 10 µL of W0023 to each well and incubate for up to 4 hours* at 37°C / 5% CO2.
 - Measure the absorbance at 460 nm.
 
 - *Optimal incubation times should be determined for each individual cell line
 
Storage
- Store at 4°C. Use within 6 months of receipt.
