Product Overview :
Based on the spectrophotometric detection of the chromophore pNA (p-nitroaniline) after cleavage from the labelled substrate YVAD-pNA.
Description :
The Caspase-1/ICE Colorimetric Protease Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence YVAD.
Storage :
Store kit at –20°C (Store Cell Lysis Buffer, 2X Reaction Buffer, and Dilution Buffer at 4°C after opening). All reagents are stable for at least 6 months.
Handling :
Aliquot enough 2X Reaction Buffer for the number of assays to be performed. Add DTT to the 2X Reaction Buffer immediately before use (10 mM final concentration: add 10 µl of 1.0 M DTT stock per 1 ml of 2X Reaction Buffer). •
After thawing, store Cell Lysis Buffer, 2X Reaction Buffer, and Dilution Buffer at 4°C. •
Protect YVAD-pNA from light.
Kit Components :
25ml Cell Lysis Buffer,
2ml 2X Reaction Buffer,
125µl YVAD-pNA (1mM),
100µl DTT (1M),
25ml Dilution Buffer.
