Assay measures the increased activity of cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenases that can cleave the tetrazolium dye WST-1 to formazan. The formazan formation is then quantified by measuring the change in absorbance at 450 nm in a microplate reader. The activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases is proportional to cell number. No washing, harvesting, or solubilization steps are required.
