The Thermo Scientific Pierce Fluorescent Protease Assay Kit measures total protease activity in samples, providing a means to assess the progress of protease isolation procedures or quantify protease contamination in biological samples.

This kit includes fluorescein-labeled casein as a substrate for assessing protease activity in a sample by either fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) with a standard fluorometer or fluorescence polarization (FP) with capable instrumentation. FTC-Casein is native casein that has been labeled using a large molar excess of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). Fluorescence properties of this heavily-labeled, intact protein substrate change dramatically upon digestion by proteases, resulting in a measurable indication of proteolysis.

Features of the Fluorescent Protease Assay Kit:

  • Casein substrate—measure activity of any protease that cleaves casein into peptide fragments
  • Trypsin standard—quantify protease activity relative to trypsin, a universally accepted reference
  • Sensitive—1000 times more sensitive than assays that use unmodified forms of casein
  • Simple and fast—test tube and microplate protocols are completed in less than one hour
  • Homogenous—addition steps only; no separation, transfer or stop steps required
  • Customizable—easily adapt time, temperature and pH to optimize sensitivity for proteases of interest

    Applications:

  • Assess functional integrity and overall progress of protease purification
  • Quantify protease contamination in protein samples
  • Characterize the activity of unusual proteases compared to trypsin
  • Evaluate buffer conditions for their affects on protease function and activity

    Additional Specifications:

  • Substrate: fluorescein-labeled casein (FITC-casein); available separately as Part No. 23267
  • Basis of assay: change in fluorescence resonance (FRET) or fluorescence polarization (FP)
  • Measurement: instrument with fluorescein excitation and emission filters (485/538nm)

    자주 묻는 질문(FAQ)

    In the Fluorescent Protease Assay Kit (Cat. No. 23266), I had poor reproducibility within my plate or across experiments. What could be the cause?

    Variations in pipetting can directly contribute to assay error, especially in the FRET-mode, because the working reagent itself has some intrinsic background fluorescence. Use reverse-pipetting or other techniques to prevent the introduction of small air bubbles into the plate wells. In FP-mode, if the sample matrix contains very high amounts of interfering fluorescent material, better quality results may be obtained by subtraction of buffer blanks from the data used for the mP calculation. In addition, FP detection is very sensitive to the position of the optical head in relation to the center of the well with respect to its X and Y coordinates, especially with 384-well plates. This position-artifact may be identified as reproducible patterned data by positioning the plate for a second reading 180 degrees relative to the first reading. Ensure that the instrument read positioning settings are appropriate for the type of plate chosen.

    In the Fluorescent Protease Assay Kit (Cat. No. 23266), I saw no change in signal. What can I do?

    Ensure that the instrument gain setting is sufficiently low to avoid saturating the instrument detector. For fluorescence readers containing multiple excitation/emission positions, ensure that “top/top” is selected for excitation/emission settings.

    Do you offer any protein assays that are protein specific?

    We offer several “specialty” protein assays including: Protease assay kits (Cat. Nos. 23263 and 23266), Glycoprotein Carbohydrate Estimation Kit (Cat. No. 23260), Phosphoprotein Phosphate Estimation Kit (Cat. No. 23270), Quantitative Peroxide assay kits (Cat. Nos. 23280 and 23285), and Easy-Titer Assay kits for IgG and IgM.
