Amsbio has announced an expanded range of assay kits and reagents for the detection and analysis of apoptosis.
A selection guide has been created by Amsbio to provide researchers with a quick way to identify and select the best tools to measure apoptosis.
Accessible online from the Amsbio website, the guide provides detailed information on the company's range of apoptosis assay kits and reagents for microscopy, flow cytometry, screening and electrophoresis.
The guide also enables selection of optimal apoptosis assay based on the type of tissue fixation, tissue type and the volume of samples required for measurement.
Amsbio aims to provide assay kits and reagents for the analysis of apoptotic events at all stages of the apoptotic cascade in different areas of the cell, including the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria.
New kits from Amsbio include a high-throughput PARP/apoptosis assay for measuring the activity of PARP in cell extracts before and during apoptosis.
An Annexin V-based kit enables fast simple detection of apoptosis in living and isolation dead cells.
The company also offers a range of specially designed kits optimised for specific tissues including tumour, neurological, dermatological and cardio tissues samples.
