APO LOGIX SR kits contain a generic sulforhodamine labeled
caspase inhibitor (sulforhodamine-peptide-fluoromethyl
ketone). This reagent is cell permeable and is used on whole
cells to detect apoptosis. Apoptotic cells are detected by a
fluorescence plate reader or fluorescence microscope using
an excitation source at 550nm and measuring emission at
595nm. The assay takes about 1 hr to complete
