Best current Caspase 3/7 assay kit?

25 February 2023 1 4K Report

Hello all,

Our lab used CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit from Invitrogen couple years back. We are now looking to see if there are any up-to-date kits for caspase 3/7 or apoptosis that is a common practice for labs to use. Thank you in advance!

Laura M Moesbergen

I like the Caspase 3/7 Glo kit from Promega. But couldn't tell you what the "common practice" kit is. The kit you mention is also still being sold by Thermo Fisher.
