Apoptosis Assay Kits

Apoptosis assay kits and reagents are available for investigations in programmed cell death, a natural part of the cell's life cycle. Researchers study apoptosis as its defective processes have been associated with a variety of diseases such as cancer. Apoptosis assays, which are experiments for directly observing apoptotic processes, are available in a variety of formats, including early, intermediate and late stages. Among these are assays that measure caspase activity, DNA fragmentation, cell permeability, annexin V staining, protein cleavage, and mitochondrial damage. When choosing apoptosis assays and reagents, consider the apoptotic marker being measured, test sensitivity, sample type and quantity, and specific staining of apoptotic and not necrotic cells. Also consider the appropriate measurement application, such as flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. Visit the apoptosis assay supplier for specific details.
