These CL (Compatible Lowry) Protein Assay is based on the widely cited protein assay by Lowry et. al. (1951). The CL Protein Assay improves upon the traditional Lowry method to be compatible with common laboratory agents known to interfere with Lowry protein assays such as reducing agents (dithiothreitol (DTT), ß-mercaptoethanol and TCEP), detergents, chelating agents, amines, sugars, strong chaotropic buffers, salts, drugs, antibiotics, cobalt and other common laboratory agents.

Calcein-AM is a non-fluorescent, membrane permeable compound. Esterase activity in the cytoplasm of viable cells converts calcein-AM to the green fluorescent, membrane impermeant compound calcein, which is retained in viable cells with intact plasma membranes. The Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay kit for Animal Live & Dead Cells pairs calcein-AM with the vital dye ethidium homodimer III for quantitation of live and dead cells.

These assays are non-radioactive methods for detecting specific transcription factor DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts and whole cell lysates. A specific dsDNA sequence containing the NF[kappa]B response element is immobilized on the bottom of the wells in a 96-well plate. The transcription factor is detected by the addition of a specific primary antibody. A colorimetric readout at 450 nm is obtained through a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody.

ProteSEEKER™ identifies specific types of proteases with a panel of twelve protease inhibitors and a sensitive colorimetric protease screening assay. ProteSEEKER™ allows researchers to screen their protein samples and establish which specific class of proteases are present and therefore design a highly specific protease inhibitor cocktail using the minimal number of protease inhibitors. Alternatively, ProteSEEKER™ can be used to test existing protease inhibitor cocktails and identify their inadequacies and therefore supplement in additional protease inhibitors.

Cell proliferation dyes diffuse passively into cells and covalently label intracellular proteins, resulting in long term cell labelling. They are non-fluorescent until they are hydrolysed by intracellular esterase's. The dyes then react with intracellular amines forming fluorescent conjugates that are retained in the cell. Immediately after staining, a single, bright fluorescent population will be detected by flow cytometry. With each cell division, daughter cells inherit roughly half of the fluorescent label, allowing the number of cell divisions that occur after labelling to be detected by the appearance of successively dimmer fluorescent peaks on a flow cytometry histogram compared to cells analysed immediately after staining. Staining is formaldehyde fixable.
