The ChIPAb+ Dimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) set includes the Anti-dimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) antibody, a negative control antibody (purified Mouse IgG), and qPCR primers which amplify a 213 bp region within the coding region of the human GAPDH gene. The dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys4) and negative control antibodies are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of dimethyl…
The Magna GrIP™ Rack is a polyethylene rack containing 4 neodinium magnets. The rack is designed to rapidly and easily pellet samples bound to magnetic particles from the supernatant. In its horizontal position, the rack contains 8 holes suitable for 1.5-2.0 ml tubes or spin columns. The rack is versatile, and may also be used with either 15 ml or alternately, 0.5 ml tubes, simply by standing the rack on either side.
Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. Chemicon's Caspase-3 Colorimetric Activity Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence DEVD. The assay is based on spectophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroaniline (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate DEVD-pNA. The free pNA can be quantified using a s…
Chemicon's Quick Apoptotic DNA Ladder Detection Kit provides a fast and easy means for detection of DNA fragmentation in apoptotic cells. Unlike other similar kits which require 1-2 days to finish the procedure, the new detection method requires less than 90 minutes to prepare DNA in a single tube, without the need for extraction or the use of columns. DNA fragmentation can be easily visualized by agarose gel electrophoreses.…
Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. Chemicon's Caspase-8 Colorimetric Activity Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence IETD. The assay is based on spectophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroaniline (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate IETD-pNA. The free pNA can be quantified using a s…
Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. Chemicon's Caspase-9 Colorimetric Activity Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the LEHD. The assay is based on spectophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroaniline (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate LEHD-pNA. The free pNA can be quantified using a spectropho…
The CHEMICON Glutathione Detection Kit is a quick method for detection of intracellular levels of reduced glutathione (GSH). Reduction in levels of GSH may be an early indicator of apoptosis.
The CHEMICON Proteasome Activity Assay Kit provides a quick, efficient and sensitive system for evaluation of proteasome activity in cell lysates or inhibitor screening. Chemicon's Proteasome Activity Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying proteasome activity that recognize the substrate LLVY (Meng et al. 1999). The assay is based on detection of the fluorophore 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) after cle…
MTT is a pale yellow substrate that is cleaved by living cells to yield a dark blue formazan product. This process requires active mitochondria, and even freshly dead cells do not cleave significant amounts of MTT. The colorimetric assay described below can be used for either proliferation or complement-mediated cytotoxicity assays.
Reagents and materials supplied in the Blood Vessel Staining Kit are sufficient for staining 100 tissue sections and when stored at 2-8C is stable up to the expiration date. ECM590 detects vWF and CD31 in human paraffin embedded tissues. In rat or mouse tissues only the vWF antibody is effective in paraffin; the CD31 antibody does not react with rodent CD31. CHEMICON's Blood Vessel Staining Kit is a very sensitive immunohistoc…
