Poly Caspase
The SR FLICA Poly Caspase Kit uses a quick and easy method to analyze active caspases in apoptotic cells. This FLICA reagent binds the following activated caspases: caspase 1, caspase 3, caspase 4, caspase 5, caspase 6, caspase 7, caspase 8 and caspase 9. It can also be used as a generic probe for the detection of most caspases.

Hoechst 33342, 1 mL - Test Principle
- Caspase FLICA kits measure apoptosis by detecting active caspases in whole, living cells. These kits do not work by using antibodies or as an ELISA. Instead, their methodology is based on a unique cell-permeable and non-cytotoxic reagent called the Fluorochrome Inhibitor of Caspases (FLICA). The FLICA reagent contains a caspase inhibitor sequence linked to a red (Sulforhodamine, SR) fluorescent probe.
The Caspase FLICA kits are suitable for cells in suspension and adherent cells from many species including mammalian, insect and yeast. Different cell types, e.g. HeLa, primary neurons, macrophages and lymphocytes have also been successfully studied with these kits.
This kit can be used with a fluorescence microscope or a fluorescence plate reader using black microtitre plates.
Storage Information
- Storage
- Store the unopened kit and each unopened component at +4oC until the expiration date.
Once reconstituted with DMSO, use FLICA reagent immediately, or store at -20oC for 6 months protected from light and thawed no more than twice during that time. - Guarantee
- Guaranteed until date of expiry. Please see product label.
