Cell-Based Assays

Cayman's Phagocytosis Assay Kit (IgG FITC) employs latex beads coated with fluorescently-labeled rabbit IgG as a probe for the measurement of the phagocytic process in vitro. The engulfed fluorescent beads can be detected using a fluorescence microscope, allowing kinetic studies of phagocytosis at the single-cell...

This kit provides a homogeneous fluorescence-based assay for detecting the intracellular calcium mobilization. Once inside the cell, Fluo-8 NW is cleaved by non-specific cell esterase, resulting in a negatively charged fluorescent dye.

Mitochondrial membrane potential, (DeltapsiM), is an important parameter of mitochondrial function used as an indicator of cell health. JC-1 is a lipophilic, cationic dye that can selectively enter into mitochondria and reversibly change color from green to red as the membrane potential increases. In healthy cells...

Cayman's MTT Proliferation Assay Kit provides an easy to use tool for studying the induction and inhibition of cell proliferation in any in vitro model. This kit will also allow investigators to screen drug candidates involved in cell cycle regulation. In this assay, MTT is taken up by cells through the plasma...

Glucose metabolism is a primary source of energy and biomaterials for the maintenance of cell homeostasis. Extra glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen which is hydrolyzed to glucose and released into the blood when needed. The rate of glucose uptake in cells is dynamic and tightly regulated by...

Kit includes 660-YVAD-FMK red caspase-1 probe, 10x Apoptosis Wash Buffer, Fixative, Technical Protocol. The red FLICA® 660-YVAD-FMK caspase-1 detection probe is comprised of the preferred affinity peptide sequence for active caspase-1 (YVAD), a far-red fluorescent 660 dye label, and a fluoromethyl ketone (FMK)...

The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex that is involved in the selective degradation of intracellular proteins. The 20S proteasome is the proteolytic core particle of a large protein degradation complex, the 26S proteasome. Proteasome inhibitors exhibit anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects,...

This kit uses Z-DEVD-Rh 110-DVED-Z as a fluorogenic indicator for caspase-3 activity. Using 100µl of reagents per well in a 96-well format, this kit provides sufficient reagents to perform 100 assays.

This kits makes use of a cell-permeant green fluorecent probe (FAM-YVAD-FMK) that binds to active caspase-1 in living cells undergoing apoptosis. Excitation wavelength 488-492nm, emission 515-535nm.

This kit is based on a cell-permeant fluorescent probe (MR-(RR)2) designed for real-time detection of cathepsin B activity within whole living cells, using a fluorescence microscope. Excitation wavelength 560nm, emission 610-650nm.

This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human mammalian cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of full-length, unmodified human androgen receptor (NR3C4), a ligand-dependent transcription factor commonly referred to as AR. INDIGO's reporter cells include the luciferase...
