WST-8 is a next generation tetrazolium reagent that serves as a sensitive chromogenic indicator for NADH. It is reduced by NADH at neutral pHs in the presence of 1-methoxy PMS to produce the corresponding formazan dye that absorbs at 460 nM. Useful as a cell viability indicator in cell proliferation assays.
