Instructions for Use of Products G8210, G8211 & G8212.

The Caspase-Glo^® 9 Assay is a homogeneous luminescent assay that measures caspase-9 activity. The assay provides a luminogenic caspase-9 substrate in a buffer system optimized for caspase activity, luciferase activity and cell lysis. The addition of a single Caspase-Glo^® 9 Reagent in an "add-mix-measure" format results in cell lysis, followed by caspase cleavage of the substrate, and generation of a "glow-type" luminescent signal (produced by the luciferase reaction). The signal generated is proportional to the amount of caspase activity present.
