Enzo Life Sciences - Fluor-de-Lys®-green HDAC
Fluorometric Activity Assay Kit
The Fluor de Lys®-Green HDAC assay is a complete kit for measuring histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in cell or nuclear extracts, immunoprecipitates or purified enzymes. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all reagents necessary for fluorescent HDAC or sirtuin activity measurements and calibration of the assay. The Fluor de Lys® system (Fluorogenic Histone deAcetylase Lysyl Substrate/Developer) is a highly sensitive and convenient alternative to radiolabeled, acetylated histones or peptide/HPLC methods for the assay of histone deacetylases.

G-Biosciences - Red 660™ Protein Assay
The
RED 660™ Protein Assay produces perfect linear standard curves when
compared to other protein assays. The single, ready-to-use reagent allows
for rapid analysis of total protein concentration and generates highly
reproducible results.
- Rapid: Single reagent colourimetric assays
- Versatile: RED 660™ Protein Assay is compatible with most detergents
- Sensitive: Protein estimation can be performed rapidly using as little as 0.5µg protein
- Compatibility can be further enhanced with Neutralizer™, for example 5% SDS

Technical Report
Oris - A Novel High Throughput-Compatible Cell
Migration Screening Assay

Cell migration is a fundamental cell behavior critical to the maintenance of homeostasis and is an essential element in wound healing and metastasis of transformed cells. Identification of potential lead therapeutic compounds would be facilitated by improved methods for high throughput screening of cell migration. Here, we report the development and validation of a novel cell migration assay that utilizes a 96-well format. The Oris™ Cell Migration Assay* integrates a 96-well plate with polymeric inserts that exclude cells from the central region of the well and a mask that fits on the bottom of the plate and limits detection of signal to the central region of each well. After cells are seeded and allowed to attach, the polymeric insert is removed and cells are allowed to migrate into the central analytic zone (defined by the opaque mask). After incubation, cells are stained and the assay is measured using a Synergy™ HT Multi-Mode Microplate Reader from BioTek Instruments. The Oris™ Cell Migration Assay is described here and data is presented to support its use for screening test compounds that may stimulate or inhibit cell migration. The assay format allows the user to investigate cell migration as an endpoint or kinetic assay.
