WST-1 Cell Proliferation Assay Kit, Cayman Chemical
Assays Cellular Assays

Used for detection of viable cells.


  • A colorimetric, non-radioactive assay for assessing cell viability and proliferation
  • Tetrazolium salt, WST-1, is reduced to a soluble purple formazan by trans-plasma membrane electron transport from NADH via an electron mediator
  • Detect 1000 to 200000 cells per well
  • Rapid assay; get results in 2 to 4 hours


Cayman’s WST-1 Proliferation Assay is based on the reduction of tetrazolium salt WST-1 to a soluble formazan dye by electron transport across the plasma membrane of dividing cells. This kit will also allow investigators to screen drug candidates involved in cell cycle regulation.
