The CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit enables the flow cytometric detection of activated caspase-3 and caspase-7 in apoptotic cells. The kit includes the novel fluorogenic substrate CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent, as well as SYTOX™ AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain.

• Caspase-3/7 specific—includes the recognition sequence for activated caspase-3 and caspase-7
• Easy identification—clearly identify live, dead, and apoptotic cell populations
• Quick analysis—washing and fixation is not required
• Multicolor compatibility—combine with other dyes excitable by the 488 nm laser or other lasers

CellEvent™ Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent is a cell-permeant reagent that consists of a four-amino acid peptide (DEVD) conjugated to a nucleic acid-binding dye. During apoptosis, caspase-3 and caspase-7 proteins are activated and able to cleave the caspase 3/7 recognition sequence encoded in the DEVD peptide. Cleavage of the recognition sequence and binding of DNA by the reagent labels the apoptotic cells with a bright, fluorogenic signal that has absorption/emission maxima of ∼511/533 nm. When used together with the SYTOX™ AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain, apoptotic cells can be easily discriminated from live and necrotic cells.

Because no single parameter defines apoptosis in all systems, we strongly suggest using a combination of different measurements for reliable detection of apoptosis.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I use CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent with fixed samples?

No, it must be applied to live cell populations.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Cell Analysis Support Center.

With the CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent, may I stain cells with nucleic acid stains?

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.

With the CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent, may I multiplex with fluorescent immunolabeling?

Yes. You can apply surface labels or other reagents. We recommend applying the surface labels or other reagents first.

Is the CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent fixable?

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.

Can I fix my CellEvent Caspase 3/7 - labeled cells?

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.
