ProRed™-derived protease substrates are colorless and non-fluorescent. Cleavage of blocking protease-cleavable peptide residue by caspases generates the strongly red fluorescent ProRed™ that can be monitored fluorimetrically at ~620 nm with excitation of ~530 nm. ProRed™-derived caspase substrates are the most sensitive red indicators for the fluorimetric detection of various caspase activities. This IETD-ProRed™ substrate is specific for detecting caspase 8.

Important notes
It is important to store at <-15 °C and should be stored in cool, dark place.
It can be used within 12 months from the date of receipt.
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
Following protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs.
General Solution Caspase Assays Using AMC, AFC, pNA, R110 and ProRed Substrates
- Prepare a 10 mM stock solution in DMSO.
- Prepare a 2X caspase substrate (50 µM) assay solution as the following: 50 µL substrate stock solution, 100 µL DTT (1M), 400 µL EDTA (100 mM), 10 mL Tris Buffer (20 mM), pH =7.4.
- Mix equal volume of the caspase standards or samples with 2X caspase substrate assay solution, and incubate the solutions at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Monitor the fluorescence using a fluorescence microplate reader, or absorbance using an absorbance microplate reader.
Cell Caspase Assays Using Cell-Permeable FMK Caspase Probes
- Prepare a 2-5 mM stock solution in DMSO.
- Treat cells as desired.
- Prepare a 2X permeable caspase substrate (20 µM) assay solution by diluting the DMSO stock solution (from Step 2.1) in Hanks with 20 mM Hepes buffer (HHBS).
- Mix equal volume of the treated cells with 2X caspase substrate assay solution (from Step 2.3), and incubate the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for at least1 hour.
- Wash the cells with HHBS for at least once.
- Monitor the fluorescence intensity by a flow cytometer, a fluorescence microscope or a fluorescence microplate reader.
Cell Caspase Assays Using Cell-Permeable FMK Caspase Probes (For #13470-13476 only)
- Prepare a 250X stock solution by adding 50 µL DMSO into the vial.
- Treat cells as desired.
- Add 250 X DMSO stock solution into the cell solution at a 1:250 ratio (such as 2 µL to 500 µL cells), and incubate the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 hour.
- Wash the cells with HHBS for at least once.
- Monitor the fluorescence intensity by flow cytometer, fluorescence microscopy or fluorescent microplate reader.

Images
Figure 1. Detection of Caspase 8 Activity in Jurkat cells with Z-IETD-ProRed™ 620. Jurkat cells were seeded on the same day at 200,000 cells/90 µL/well in a Costar black wall/clear bottom 96-well plate. The cells were treated with staurosporine at the final concentration of 1 µM for 5 hours while the untreated cells were used as control. The caspase 8 assay solution (100 µL/well) was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The fluorescence intensity was measured at Ex/Em = 540/620 nm with a FlexStation™ microplate reader (Molecular Devices).
