What are the differences among MTS, XXT, WST-1, CCK-8 (WST-8) test kits?

Source: Elabscience®Published: Mar 04,2024

MTT assay kits are widely used to detect cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, and MTS, XXT, WST-1 and WST-8 are all upgraded alternatives to MTT, which have obvious advantages compared with MTT. On the one hand, the reaction production of MTT assay is insoluable in water, a specific solvent is required in the assay, products of WST-8, XTT and MTS are water-soluble with easier operation. On the other hand, the solubility of the formazan produced of WST-8 is higher than that of XTT and MTS. What's more, WST-8 is more stable than MTT, XTT, and has a wider linear range and higher sensitivity.
