Polycaspase Assay Kit, red

Polycaspase and Caspase in vitro apoptosis kits make it easy to measure cell death and apoptosis in cultured neurons and many other cell types. Just add the reagent to the media, let it incubate 1- 4 hours, wash the cells and read with a fluorescence plate reader, microscope, or flow cytometer.  Apoptotic cells fluoresce red or green.

Red fluorescence staining from red kit reveals areas of localized red fluorescent product in lysosomes after cleavage by caspases 3 and 7 (B).
