Cell Proliferation Reagent WST-1
Application The Cell Proliferation Reagent WST-1 is designed to be used for the nonradioactive, spectrophotometric quantification of cell proliferation and viability in cell populations using the 96-well-plate format. It can be used for: Measurement of cell proliferation in response to growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and nutrients Analysis of cytotoxic and cytostatic compounds, such as anti-cancer drugs and other ph…
WST-1 from Alkali Scientific Inc-Easy to use and reliable results. FP- the company mentioned is a distributor of the product https://alkalisci.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=Cell+Proliferation+Reagent+WST-1
Cell proliferation assay
We use the Cell Proliferation WST-1 reagent for assessing cell proliferation adherent and suspension cells. The reagent is very sensitive and easy to use. The values obtained is within the range of absorbance when measured within 4-6h after addition of the agent. The reagent could be stored at 4 degrees and not need any additional reagents . Especially in suspension cells the reagent makes the assay very easy. There is no need to wash or remove at any stage. The reagent could added directly and the measurements could be made. The customer service of the distributor "Alkali Scientific Inc" is very good and prompt. The reagent has value for the dollars paid.

Application
The Cell Proliferation Reagent WST-1 is designed to be used for the nonradioactive, spectrophotometric quantification of cell proliferation and viability in cell populations using the 96-well-plate format. It can be used for:
- Measurement of cell proliferation in response to growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and nutrients
- Analysis of cytotoxic and cytostatic compounds, such as anti-cancer drugs and other pharmaceutical compounds
- Assessment of growth inhibitory antibodies and physiological mediators
Benefits
- Safe: No radioactive isotopes are used.
- Accurate: The absorbance revealed strongly correlates to the cell number.
- Sensitive: Low cell numbers are detected.
- Fast: The use of a multiwell ELISA reader allows a larger number of samples to be processed.
- Easy: No washing steps or additional reagents are required.
- Convenient: Supplied as a ready-to-use solution.
