Bioactivity | WST-1 is a kind of water-soluble tetrazolium salt. WST induces the intracellular mitochondrial dehydrogenase to conduct NADH-dependent enzyme digestion reaction, releasing the water-soluble methyl benzene product. WST-1 can be used for the detection of cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, via the determination of the light absorption value at 450 nm[1]. Storage: protect from light. |
Invitro | WST-1 工作液的配制1.1 制备储存液用 DMSO 配制 10 mg/mL 的 WST-1。如用1 mL DMSO 溶解 10 mg WST-1。注:WST-1 储存液建议分装后于 -20 ℃ 或 -80 ℃ 避光保存。1.2 工作液的配制用预热好的无血清细胞培养基或 PBS 稀释储存液,配制成 5mM 的 WST-1 工作液。注:请根据实际情况调整 WST-1 工作液浓度,且现用现配。细胞染色2.1 准备工作悬浮细胞:离心收集细胞,加入 PBS 洗涤两次,每次 5 分钟。贴壁细胞:弃去培养基,加入胰蛋白酶消化细胞。离心弃去上清后,加入 PBS 洗涤两次,每次 5 分钟。2.2 加入 1 mL WST-1 工作液和1-methoxy PMS (2 mM),室温孵育 2 h。2.3 用酶标仪测定 450 和 690 nm 处光密度。 |
