One vial (20 µL) of mix-and-read reagent in DMSO sufficient for 100-200 live-cell apoptosis tests (1 test = 1 well of 96-well microtiter plate) in 96-well format.
• Reduce loss of precious or compromised cells under-going caspase-3/7 mediated apoptosis with mix-and-read reagents
• Track true, artifact-free biological responses with non-perturbing, live-cell reagents
• Quantify apoptosis in real-time with the Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System
• Immune cell killing
• Multiplex with proliferation
• Multi-spheroid growth
Incucyte® Caspase-3/7 Dyes for Apoptosis are formulated to detect apoptosis (cell death) in live cells. The dyes are ideally suited to the mix-and-read, real-time quantification of cells undergoing caspase-3/7 mediated apoptosis. Addition of the Incucyte® Caspase-3/7 Green, Red or Metabolism Dyes to healthy cells is non-perturbing to cell growth and morphology. When used with Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis Systems and software, these reagents allow for reliable, accurate evaluation of cell death. Incucyte® Caspase-3/7 Dyes for Apoptosis couple the activated caspase-3/7 recognition motif (DEVD) to a DNA intercalating dye. When added to tissue culture medium, the inert, non-fluorescent substrate crosses the cell membrane where it is cleaved by activated caspase-3/7, resulting in the release of the DNA dye and fluorescent staining of the nuclear DNA. With Incucyte® integrated analysis software, fluorescent objects can be quantified and background fluorescence minimized.
