The Calcineurin Phosphatase assay kit, BML-AK804, contains ½ volume microplate. What is the advantage of using this type of plate instead of a standard 96 well plate?
We use 1/2 volume plates for the Calcineurin Phosphatase assay kit (BML-AK804) because a longer path length improves accuracy for…

When using the Cellular senescence live cell analysis assay (ENZ-KIT130), what is the best incubation time, 4 hours or overnight?
An overnight incubation will give better results, especially with cells that may have lower SA-b-galactosidase activity.

Can I fix my cells after staining with your cellular senescence live cell analysis assay (ENZ-KIT130)?
This is actually live cell assay and regretfully, its behavior in presence of a fixative solution cannot be predicted.
