Amplite® Universal Fluorimetric Protease Activity Assay Kit

Red Fluorescence

Amplite® Universal Fluorimetric Protease Activity Assay Kit is a fluorimetric assay kit for detection of broad-spectrum protease activity in protein samples.

Detection Principle: Protease-catalyzed hydrolysis of fluorescent casein relieves quenching and increases red fluorescence.
Specificity: Uses casein as a generic substrate for a broad spectrum of proteases.
Workflow: Optimized mix-and-read assay readily adaptable to high-throughput automation.
Instrument Compatibility: Fluorescence detection at Ex/Em 540/590 nm using solid black microplates.

Trypsin protease activity was analyzed by using Amplite® Universal Fluorimetric Protease Activity Assay Kit. Protease substrate was incubated with 3 units of trypsin. The control wells had protease substrate only (without trypsin). The fluorescence signal was measured starting from time 0 when trypsin was added. Samples were done in triplicate.

Overview

Monitoring of various protease activities has become a routine task for many biological laboratories. Our Amplite® Universal Fluorimetric Protease Activity Assay Kits are an ideal choice for performing routine assays necessary during the isolation of proteases, or for identifying the presence of contaminating proteases in protein samples. The kits use fluorescent casein conjugates that are proven to be a generic substrate for a broad spectrum of proteases. In the intact substrate, casein is heavily labeled with a fluorescent dye, resulting in significant fluorescence quenching. Protease-catalyzed hydrolysis relieves its quenching effect, yielding brightly fluorescent dye-labeled short peptides. The increase in fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to protease activity. The kits provide all the essential components with an optimized "mix & read" protocol that can be easily automated to HTS instruments.
