CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent, 1 x 25 μL Vial - FAQs

可以，在3.7%甲醛中固定15分钟后，CellEvent信号将会保留。 

可以在同种样品中将PrestoBlue试剂（用于细胞增殖）和CellEvent Caspase 3/7 Green 检测试剂（用于细胞凋亡检测）结合。

•可测定来自单个细胞的数据。
•可从大量细胞中获得数据，产生细胞群的丰富统计学分析结果。
•由于可测定单个细胞，能够揭示种群的异质性。
•支持多重检测，可鉴定小型亚群。
•可以快速分析数以千计的细胞。
•非常适合血液样本和其他悬浮细胞。
•数据获取后，可以多次重复分析。
•流式细胞仪文件（FCS）可以归档。

可进行多种应用，包括免疫分型、细胞周期分析、凋亡检测（如膜联蛋白V染色检测实验）、CellEvent Caspase-3/7检测、TUNEL检测、细胞活性检测、增殖检测（如CellTrace 检测和Click-iT EdU检测）、MitoProbe检测法测定线粒体电势、利用计数微球进行细胞计数。

Yes, on both accounts. We have demonstrated that it works for microplates, and we have multiplexed the dye with PrestoBlue Cell Viability Reagent. Some microplates may be less sensitive than microscopic analysis, so sensitivity may not be the same for the CellEvent reagent.

We have tested Caspase 3/7 Green Detection Reagents (Cat. Nos. C10432, C10433, C10434, C10423, C10723, R37111) for up to 48 hours and observed no toxicity or stability issues with the reagent. If the samples are fixed at the end of the time course the signal will be retained for days. For live cells, apoptotic cells will round up and float away before the loss of fluorescence signal from CellEvent.

The following reference reports a visible signal for up to 72 hrs:

Yes, you may use SYTOX AADvanced Dead Cell Stain that is included in the CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Ready Flow Reagent (Cat. No. R37167) and in the CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit (Cat. No. C10427, C10740). You may also try using other nucleic acid stains in the red or far red channels for staining cells.

The CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent is not covalently attached to any cellular component and may be lost upon fixation. For flow cytometry applications, after applying the reagent, you should examine without washing or fixation. For imaging applications, the CellEvent product signal may be retained after fixation in 3.7% formaldehdye for 15 min.

For imaging applications, we recommend fixing with 3.7% formaldehyde at room temperature for 15 mins. After fixation, cells can be imaged for up to 24 hrs, but the signal will gradually degrade over time. For flow cytometry applications, fixation is not recommended.

-Measures data from single cells.
-Data are obtained for a large number of cells, generating a rich statistical analysis of cell populations.
-Because single cells are measured, it will reveal heterogeneity within a population.
-With the ability to multiplex, small sub-populations can be identified.
-Thousands of cells can be analyzed rapidly.
-It is ideally suited for blood samples and other cells in suspension.
-Data can be re-analyzed multiple times after acquisition.
-Flow cytometry files (FCS) can be archived.
