CLFluor™-96 Principle
- Incorporates a customized Promega CellTiter Fluor™ reagent that detects protease activity only in living cells. Fluorescence produced only when the GF-AFC substrate is cleaved by protease activity to produce a fluorescence signal proportional to the number of living cells.
- After culture, just add 100μl of the reagent, mix and measure signal between 30 minutes and 3 hours in a plate reader. Optimal incubation time: 2 hours.
