Cell Meter(TM) Live Cell Caspase 1 Binding Assay Kit *Green Fluorescence*

Our Cell Meter(TM) live cell caspases activity assay kits are based on fluorescent FMK inhibitors of caspases. These inhibitors are cell permeable and non-cytotoxic. Once inside the cell, the caspase inhibitors bind covalently to the active caspases. This Cell Meter(TM) Live Cell Caspase 1 Activity Assay Kit is designed to detect cell apoptosis by measuring caspase 1 activation in live cells. It is used for the quantification of activated caspase 1 activities in apoptotic cells, or for screening caspase 1 inhibitors. FAM-YVAD-FMK, the green label reagent, allows for direct detection of activated caspase 1 in apoptotic cells by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometer, or fluorescent microplate reader. The kit provides all the essential components with an optimized assay protocol.
