CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green ReadyProbes™ Reagent is a fluorogenic, no-wash indicator of activated caspase-3/7 for live- and fixed-cell applications. Activation of caspase-3 is an early indicator of apoptosis and CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green reagent allows rapid and sensitive detection of cells destined for cell death.

• Simple and fast no-wash protocol helps preserve delicate apoptotic cells
• Compatible with both live-cell fluorescence imaging and formaldehyde-based fixation methods
• Ready-to-use liquid formulation in convenient dropper bottle—no need to dilute, weigh, or pipette
• Stability at room temperature—keep handy at your scope or cell culture area.

Cell imaging applications
CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green reagent is a four amino acid peptide (DEVD) conjugated to a nucleic acid-binding dye that is non-fluorescent when not bound to DNA. The CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green reagent is intrinsically non-fluorescent, as the DEVD peptide inhibits binding of the dye to DNA. Upon activation of caspase-3/7 in apoptotic cells, the DEVD peptide is cleaved and the free dye can bind DNA, generating a bright green fluorescence. The fluorescence emission of the dye when bound to DNA is 530 nm and can be observed using a standard FITC filter set.

Suggestions for use
• In most cases, 2 drops/ml and an incubation time of 30 minutes is sufficient for bright nuclear staining of apoptotic cells; however, optimization may be needed for some cell types, conditions, and applications. In such cases, simply add more or fewer drops until the optimal staining intensity is obtained.
• If desired, combine CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green ReadyProbes™ reagent with a red or far-red nuclear stain for a total cell count
• CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green dye is excited with a maximum at 502 nm and has an emission maximum at 530 nm. It is detected through standard GFP and FITC filters.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How many tests can I perform with each Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green ReadyProbes product?

The number of tests depends on the final assay volume. At two 40 µL drops per mL staining solution, Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green ReadyProbes Reagent, Cat. No. R37111, yields approximately 200 tests. Practical yield may be lower because of pipetting loss, dead volume, concentration optimization, and drop-size variation.

How should Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green ReadyProbes Reagents be stored, and what formats are supplied?

Prepare the working staining solution fresh each day, protect the reagents from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The shipped products are stable for six months from receipt when stored as directed. Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green ReadyProbes Reagent, Cat. No. R37111, is supplied as a 12.5X solution stored at 15-30°C.

Can cleaved Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Detection Reagents stain cytoplasmic RNA?

Cytoplasmic RNA staining may occur after Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase Detection Reagents are cleaved. The intended assay readout is nuclear fluorescence from released dye binding to nucleic acids in caspase-positive cells.

How long can Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase Detection Reagents remain in continuous culture?

For continuous culture experiments the Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase Detection Reagents can be maintained in complete cell culture medium at its working concentration.

Can I use a nuclear counterstain with Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase Detection Reagents?

Yes, but add the nuclear counterstain after the Invitrogen CellEvent Caspase reagent signal has developed. For kinetic or continuous-culture experiments, add a Hoechst nuclear stain at the endpoint to reduce potential effects on normal cell physiology. Nuclear counterstain dyes may compete for nucleic acid binding, so optimize the combination.
