Red Active Caspase-3 Staining Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-2372
• Product Overview: Activation of caspases plays a central role in apoptosis. The Red Active Caspase-3 Staining Kit provides a convenient means for detecting activated caspase-3 in; Living cells. The assay utilizes the caspase-3 inhibitor DEVD-FMK conjugated to sulfo-rhodamine (Red-DEVD-FMK) as the fluorescent in situ marker. Red-DEVD-FMK is cell permeable, nontoxic, and irreversibly binds to activated caspase-3 in apoptotic cells.
