FLICE/MACH/Mch5 Assay Kit

Format: 96-well plate

Form: 96 Tests

Detection Method: Colorimetric or Fluorimetric

Assay Time: 2.5-3.5 h

Sample Type: Purified caspase-8

Kit Contents: Human Recombinant Caspase-8 (Cat. No. 218769), an IETD-pNA Colorimetric Substrate, Calibration Standard, Inhibitor, Assay Buffer, one half-volume 96-Well Plate, and a user protocol.

Comments: A convenient assay kit useful for measuring the protease activity of caspase-8. Cleavage is monitored colorimetrically by an increase in absorbance at 405 nm due to the release of pNA. Useful for screening caspase-8 inhibitors.
