The WST-8 Cell Proliferation Kit is a colorimetric assay for the determination of viable cell number and for studying induction or inhibition of cell proliferation in vitro. Main Features: *More sensitive than other formazan-based assays *Colorimetric measurement at 450 nm allows quantification of viable cells. Large linearity range independent from temperature, pH or concentration *Allow to perform real-time assays *Rapid and ready-to-use. One step procedure / One reagent only. No need of washing or extraction procedures, no other solvent or solubilisation solution required *Highly reproducible. Adaptable from 384-well plates for screening to larger cell culture formats / Perfect for High Throughput Screening *Suitable for adherent as well as suspension cells. Compatible with cell lines, primary cells, bacteria… *Final compound is not harmful for the cell
