Green Fluorescent FAM-FLICACaspase-3/7 (DEVD) Assay Kit

• Description:

  This in vitro assay employs the green fluorescent inhibitor probe FAM-DEVD-FMK to label active caspase 3 and caspase 7 enzymes in living cells. Analyze samples using fluorescence microscopy, a fluorescence plate reader, or flow cytometry.

• Target Antigen:

  Caspase-3/7

• Assay Principle:

  1. Prepare samples and controls, 2. Dilute 10X Apoptosis Wash Buffer 1:10 with diH20., 3. Reconstitute FLICA with 50 µL DMSO., 4. Dilute FLICA 1:5 by adding 200 µL PBS., 5. Add diluted FLICA to each sample at 1:30 (e.g., add 10 µL to 290 µL of cultured cells)., 6. Incubate approximately 1 hour., 7. Remove media and wash cells 3 times: add 1X Apoptosis Wash Buffer and spin cells., 8. If desired, label with additional stains, such as Hoechst, Propidium Iodide, 7-AAD, or an antibody., 9. If desired, fix cells., 10. Analyze with a fluorescence microscope, fluorescence plate reader, or flow cytometer. FAM-FLICA excites at 492 nm and emits at 520 nm., , If working with adherent cells, please see the manual for additional protocols.
