Cellular assays have always been a powerful tool in the research lab. They are incredibly versatile, and can be designed to measure virtually any cellular or biochemical function. Sensitive detection of fluorescent probes aid in evaluating cell signalling and death pathways, which is useful for the rapid quantification of cell viability. Cellular assays can be used to measure the effects of different treatments on cell viability and to evaluate toxic effects mediated through a variety of mechanisms.
Apoptosis and necrosis quantitation kits
Supplier: Biotium
Apoptosis and necrosis are two processes by which cells die. Apoptosis is an active, regulated disassembly of the cell from within. During apoptosis, phosphatidylserine is translocated from the inner to the outer surface of the cell, allowing the dying cell to be engulfed by phagocytic cells. Annexin V is a 35 kD Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding protein with a high affinity for phosphatidylserine.

FLUOR DE LYS® HDAC fluorometric activity assay kit
Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences
The FLUOR DE LYS® HDAC fluorometric activity assay kit is a sensitive and convenient alternative to protocols utilizing radiolabeled, acetylated histones or peptide/HPLC methods for the assay of histone deacetylases. It is based on the unique FLUOR DE LYS® (Fluorimetric Histone deAcetylaseLysyl) substrate and developer combination and provides an assay that can be carried out in two simple mixing steps, all on the same 96-well plate. Histone deacetylase inhibitors have shown promise as anti-tumor agents and naturally this has stimulated interest in the screening of compounds for HDAC inhibition.

FLUOR DE LYS® HDAC8 fluorometric drug discovery kit
Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences
A Fluor-de-Lys® fluorescent assay system. The HDAC8 Fluorescent Activity Assay/Drug Discovery Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure the lysyl deacetylase activity of the recombinant human HDAC8 included in the kit. The kit is ideal for chemical library screening for candidate inhibitors or activators or kinetic assay of the enzyme under varying conditions. The Fluor de Lys® HDAC8 assay is based on the Fluor de Lys® Substrate and Fluor de Lys® Developer combination. The assay procedure has two steps. First, the Fluor de Lys® Substrate, which comprises an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with HDAC6. Deacetylation of the substrate sensitizes the substrate so that, in the second step, treatment with the Fluor de Lys®Developer produces a fluorophore.

Cell viability assay kits
Supplier: Biotium
MTT, XTT, and resazurin are reduced by mitochondrial metabolic activity to yield coloured or fluorescent products, and thus are useful for and assaying cell viability and quantitating cell number. MTT and XTT are reduced to coloured formazin salts that can be measured by absorbance. MTT generates an insoluble formazin salt, requiring cell lysis before the absorbance can be measured, while XTT does not require cell lysis for measurement. Resazurin is a non-fluorescent blue dye that is reduced to the pink fluorescent compound resorufin, which can be measured by fluorescence or absorbance.
