Read More | The aladdin 488 Caspase-3 live cell assay kit contains the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate and the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor. aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate provides an effective tool for detecting apoptosis based on Caspase-3 activity, suitable for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.The aladdin 488 Caspase-3 live cell assay kit contains the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate and the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor. aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate provides an effective tool for detecting apoptosis based on Caspase-3 activity, suitable for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Compared with other fluorescent substrates or fluorescent inhibitors of Caspase based on ( FLICA ) analysis, aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate does not inhibit the apoptosis process of intact cells while detecting Caspase-3 activity. Substrate is composed of fluorescent DNA dyes coupled with Caspase-3 DEVD recognition sequence. Substrate initially had no fluorescence and entered the cytoplasm through the cell membrane. In apoptotic cells, Caspase-3 cleaves the Substrate and releases high-affinity DNA staining, which migrates to the nucleus to label DNA and emits bright green fluorescence.Therefore, aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate is bifunctional, which can not only detect Caspase-3 activity, but also visualize the morphological changes of the nucleus during apoptosis. Aladdin 488 staining can be fixed in formaldehyde and compatible with subsequent immunostaining experiments.Parameters:aladdin 488:Ex/Em = 500/530 nm (with DNA)Component:Points for attention:1.Please instantaneously centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube before use, and then carry out subsequent experiments. 2.Cells can be co-stained with a final concentration of 1µM Hoechst 33342 dye to produce blue fluorescence staining of the nucleus ( Ex / Em = 346 / 460 nm ). 3.Aladdin 488 staining can be fixed by formaldehyde, but it is not compatible with methanol fixation. 4.Formaldehyde-fixed aladdin 488-stained cells can be treated with 0.1 % TritonX-100 for subsequent staining, but the brightness of the treated staining may be weakened. 5.Fluorescent dyes all have quenching problems, please try to avoid light to slow down the fluorescence quenching. 6.For your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and wear disposable gloves.Scope of application:Caspase 3 kit and apoptosis detectionUsage:1. Experimental optimization: The experimental steps provided below are based on the endpoint detection system. Aladdin 488 Substrate can also be used for long-term cell incubation course research. Cell density, substrate concentration, and inhibitor concentration may need to be optimized. The optimal substrate concentration may be between 1-10 µ Between M. Cells can be incubated with substrates in culture medium, PBS, or other buffer of your choice. For adherent cells, we recommend replacing them with fresh culture media containing substrates to prevent background heterogeneity. The operation of changing the medium or washing the cells after substrate incubation is freely selectable.2. We suggest that you set the following controls:A. Negative control: cells that do not induce apoptosis;B. Positive control: cells that induce apoptosis;C. Inhibitor control: Induce cell apoptosis while incubating Caspase-3/7 inhibitors (or 10-30 minutes in advance), and finally add Aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate.3. The Caspase-3/7 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO in the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control kit can be used to confirm that Caspase-3/7 depends on the fluorescence signal of aladdin 488. For inhibitor control, the final concentration of the inhibitor should be at least twice the substrate concentration (e.g. when using 5 µ At substrate M aladdin 488, the concentration of Ac-DEVD-CHO is 10 µ M). Before adding the substrate, incubate Ac-DEVD-CHO at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. After adding the substrate, continue to retain the inhibitor in the incubation solution. Ac-DEVD-CHO is a reversible competitive inhibitor. In certain cell types, effective Caspase-3/7 inhibitors require the use of irreversible inhibitors, such as Z-DEVD-FMK, or the addition of inhibitors before or during apoptosis induction.4. Flow cytometry(1) Choose appropriate methods to induce cell apoptosis, with untreated cell samples as controls.(2) Adhering cells should be digested with trypsin or other methods before performing the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 experiment.(3) Resuspend cells with culture medium or buffer to achieve a cell density of 106 cells/mL(4) Suck 0.2 mL of cell suspension into a flow cytometry test tube.(5) Inhibitor control samples were treated with Ac-DEVD-CHO on cells (see 3 above) Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control.(6) 200 µ Add 5 to L cell suspension µ Substrate of 0.2 mM and immediately mix to achieve a substrate concentration of 5 µ M. The optimal substrate concentration for different cells may vary and requires analysis and optimization.(7) Incubate cells at room temperature in dark for 15-30 minutes.(8) Join 300 µ L-medium or PBS, analyzed by flow cytometry. Detect the channel for green fluorescence (Ex/Em=485/515 nm).5.

The SYBR Green I fluorescent dye contained can bind to all double-stranded DNA, allowing this product to be used for the detection of many different target sequences without the need to synthesize specific labeling probes. Real Time RT-qPCR reaction using this product, reverse transcription and quantitative PCR are carried out in the same reaction system, there is no need to add reagents during the reaction, no need to open the cap of the tube, avoiding contamination while improving the efficiency of the experiment. The new high-efficiency reverse transcriptase RNase H is activity-deficient, which reduces the degradation of RNA in the reverse transcription reaction. The enzyme has high reverse transcription efficiency and can perform a good reverse transcription reaction on a small amount of RNA template. It has high affinity to RNA and can read through RNA templates with high GC content and complex secondary structure. New efficient hot start enzyme, the enzyme activity is closed at room temperature, thus effectively avoiding non-specific amplification caused by non-specific binding of primers and templates or primer dimerization at room temperature, which greatly improves the accuracy of fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction. The included buffer system maximizes the efficacy of both enzymes at the same time and improves efficiency. This product has high sensitivity, high specificity, wide linear range, and more accurate quantification of target genes.ROX dye is used to correct the fluorescence signal error generated between wells of a quantitative PCR instrument, and is generally used with Real Time PCR amplifiers from ABI, Stratagene, and other companies.
