About us

WST (water-soluble Tetrazolium) was developed by DOJINDO LABORATORIES in 1990s and is now used worldwide as one of the methods for cell proliferation/cytotoxicity assay. Using this WST method, DOJINDO LABORATORIES developed and commercialized the CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8) with improved sensitivity. The CCK-8 has been used in an uncountable number of published papers worldwide. 

DOJINDO LABORATORIES was founded by Dr. Keihei Ueno, a well-known researcher in chelating chemistry.
