Kit size- Convenient sizes (25 and 100 assays) ? Applications- Sensitive detection of activated caspases in living cells. CaspGLOWTM Fluorescein Active Caspase Staining Kit: Convenient & Sensitive Kit to Detect Activated Caspases in Living Cells. Detection Method: Fluorescence Microscopy, Flow Cytometry or Fluorescence Plate Reader. Kit Size: 25 and 100 Assays. Activation of caspases plays a central role in apoptosis. The CaspGLOW? Fluorescein Active Caspase Staining Kit provides a convenient and sensitive means for detecting activated caspases in living cells. The assay utilizes the caspase family inhibitor VAD-FMK conjugated to FITC (FITC-VAD-FMK) as a marker. FITC-VAD-FMK is cell permeable, nontoxic, and irreversibly binds to activated caspases in apoptotic cells.
