The ApopTag ISOL Fluorescence Apoptosis Detection (DNase Types I & II) technique is based upon the biochemical specificity of the enzymes T4 DNA ligase and Vaccinia Virus DNA Topoisomerase I and the unique, dual labeled, dual hairpin oligonucleotide

The CHEMICON APO-DIRECT™ Kit is a single-step staining method for labeling DNA breaks to detect apoptotic cells by flow cytometry (Li et al. 1995). The kit contains all the reagents required for measuring apoptosis in cells including positive and negative control cells; washing, reaction, and rinsing buffers; and propidium iodide/RNase A solution for counter staining the total DNA.

The MitoLight™ Apoptosis Detection Kit utilizes a lipophilic cation, termed as MitoLight™, as a mitochondrial activity marker. MitoLight™ is a mitochondrial dye that stains mitochondria in living cells in a membrane potential-dependent fashion. The monomer is in equilibrium with so-called J-aggregates, which are favored at higher dye concentration or higher mitochondrial membrane potential. MitoLight™ partitions differently i…

The CHEMICON In Situ FLICA Caspase-3/7 Detection Kit is a fluorescent-based assay for detection of active caspase-3 or caspase-7 in cells undergoing apoptosis. The kit is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

The CHEMICON In Situ FLICA Caspase-3 Detection Kit is a fluorescent-based assay for detection of active caspase-3 in cells undergoing apoptosis. The kit is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

CHEMICON®'s Cell Transformation Detection Assay is an anchorage-independent growth assay in soft agar, which is considered the most stringent assay for detecting malignant transformation of cells. For this assay, cells (pre-treated with carcinogens or carcinogen inhibitors) are cultured with appropriate controls in soft agar medium for 21-28 days. Following this incubation period, formed colonies can either be analyzed morphol…

Chemicon's Mast Cell Degranulation Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying tryptase activity. The assay is based on spectophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroaniline (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate tosyl-gly-pro-lys-pNA. The free pNA can then be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 405 nm. A pNA Standard is provided as a comparison control.

CHEMICON's NS220 Neurite Outgrowth Assay Kit (3 µm) utilizes microporous tissue culture insert technology from EMD Millipore and is based on the use of Millicell cell culture inserts (chambers) containing a permeable membrane with 3-μm pores at the base. The Millicell inserts utilized in this kit are appropriate for cells projecting neurites of up to 3 µm diameter, e.g. N1E-115 cells [Abe et al., 2003], Dorsal Root Ganglia and…

CHEMICON's NS225 Neurite Outgrowth Assay Kit (1 μm) utilizes microporous tissue culture insert technology from EMD Millipore and is based on the use of Millicell cell culture inserts (chambers) containing a permeable membrane with 1 μm pores at the base. With this system, it is possible to screen numerous biological and pharmacological agents simultaneously, directly evaluate adhesion and guidance receptor functions responsibl…

ApopTag® Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) is a recombinant enzyme intended for use in labeling the 3'-OH ends of fragmented DNA during apoptotic cell detection. Qualified for use with Apoptag® In Situ Apoptosis Detection Kits

Rat mammary gland undergoes programmed cell death processes during the tissue regression that follows lactation. Apoptotic bodies, which can be seen by routine histologic staining, can be specifically stained by techniques that localize DNA strand breaks in situ. The specificity of staining for strand breaks can thus be correlated with the morphological changes that define the process of apoptosis.

APOPTAG® Plastic Coverslips are designed to be custom fitted to the specific APOPTAG® kit application.

The ApopTag® Peroxidase In Situ Oligo Ligation Kit specifically detects apoptosis by staining only cells that contain double-stranded breaks that are blunt-ended or have a one base 3' overhang (cells containing nicked, gapped, 3'-recessed, 3'-overhanging ends longer than one base and single-stranded ends are not detected). The high analytic specificity of the ApopTag® ISOL Kit minimizes background due to non-specific labeling…
