Zeta Potential Assay

Particle surface characteristics and charge play an important role in the particle’s physical state, stability in different media, agglomeration tendencies, and interaction with biological systems. Zeta potential measurement provides an indirect measure of the net charge and as a tool to test batch-to-batch consistency.

Caspase Apoptosis

Caspase Apoptosis assays monitor apoptosis by measuring the degree of the caspace (family of cysteine proteases) activity, an indicator of apoptosis. Caspase apoptosis assays measure the cleavage of the DEVD-AFC (Amino Tri-fluoromethyl Coumarin substrate to free AFC. Free AFC emits yellow-green fluorescence (1,2,6).
