POLY CASPASE (POLY) Assay Kit

Description: The SR FLICA Poly Caspase kit uses a quick and easy method to analyze active caspases in apoptotic cells.This FLICA reagent binds the following activated caspases: Caspase 1, Caspase 3, Caspase 4, Caspase 5, Caspase 6, Caspase 7, Caspase 8 and Caspase 9. It can also be used as a generic probe for the detection of most caspases.
Test Principle: Caspase FLICA kits measure apoptosis by detecting active caspases in whole, living cells. These kits do not work by using antibodies or as an ELISA. Instead, their methodology is based on a unique cell-permeable and non-cytotoxic reagent called the Fluorochrome Inhibitor of Caspases (FLICA). The FLICA reagent contains a caspase inhibitor sequence linked to a red (Sulforhodamine, SR) fluorescent probe.

The Caspase FLICA Kits are suitable for cells in suspension, adherent cells, thin tissue sections (but not fixed or paraffin-embedded cells) from many species including mammalian, insect and yeast. Different cell types, e.g. HeLa, primary neurons, macrophages and lymphocytes have also been successfully studied with these kits.
This kit can be used with a fluorescence microscope or a fluorescence plate reader using black microtitre plates.

Small volumes of POLY CASPASE assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
