WST-8

The Uses of WST-8

WST-8 is a next generation tetrazolium reagent that serves as a sensitive chromogenic indicator for NADH.

The Uses of WST-8

A highly sensitive tetrazolium reagent that produces a water-soluble formazan (orange color that absorbs at 460 nm) in NADH. It is newer generation formazan-based dyes which release the converted prod uct into the medium in a soluble form allowing for a non-destructive determination of viability enabling the cells to be subject to further investigations.

Biotechnological Applications

WST-8 is a next generation tetrazolium reagent that serves as a sensitive chromogenic indicator for NADH. It is reduced by NADH at neutral pHs in the presence of 1-methoxy PMS to produce the corresponding formazan dye that absorbs at 460 nM. Useful as a cell viability indicator in cell proliferation assays.
