In vitro study | The generally used MTS-based assay is compared with a bioassay employing a water-soluble tetrazolium dye, WST-8, using NFS-60 cells at a concentration of 7×10 5 cells/mL against 800 IU/mL of PEGylated G-CSF at 24, 48, 72, and 72 h time points to determine the efficacy of PEGylated G-CSF. Further, the optimized WST-8 dye-based assay is used to test the potency of various commercially available PEGylated G-CSF preparations. The results demonstrate enhanced sensitivity of the WST-8-based assay over the conventional MTS-based assay for determining the potency of PEGylated G-CSF using the NFS-60 cell line. |

Overview | 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2, 4-disulfobenzene)-2H-tetrazole monosodium salt, referred to as WST-8, is a main ingredient in the cell activity detection agent CCK-8 kit. CCK-8 kit is a kit developed by Japan Dojindo Research Institute to detect cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. The kit is easy to use, high sensitivity, good repeatability and no radioactivity. However, the kit is expensive and its main ingredients are WST-8 sold in the market. |
Use | 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene)-3-(4-nitrobenzene)-5-(2, 4-disulfobenzene)-2H-tetrazole monosodium salt is a highly sensitive tetrazole reagent that can produce water-soluble A in NADH. It is a new generation of methyl maz-based dyes that release the conversion products into the culture medium in a soluble form, allowing non-destructive determination of viability, allowing cells to accept further investigation.

Application | 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene)-3-(4-nitrobenzene)-5-(2, 4-disulfobenzene)-2H-tetrazole monosodium salt is mainly used in biochemical kits as a screening reagent for cell proliferation detection. |
biological activity | WST-8 is a water-soluble tetrazolium salt, which can be used to evaluate the metabolic activity of cells and produce the corresponding methyl dye, which is absorbed at 460 nm. WST-8 is usually used as an indicator of cell viability in cell proliferation assays. |
