How is the SA-beta-galactosidase measured with your cellular senescence activity assay (ENZ-KIT129)?
This assay uses a fluorometric substrate to detect SA-b-galactosidase activity in cell lysates. The buffers included in this kit maintain…

How many cells should I use with :your Cellular senescence activity assay?
The cell number used with this assay can vary depending on the percentage of cells expected to be senescent. A…

Can tissue be used with your cellular senescence activity assay (ENZ-KIT129)?
Tissues can be used with this assay. They will need to be re-suspended in the 1X cell lysis buffer provided…

What is the purpose of the cell pre-treatment solution in ENZ-KIT130?
There are two main types of b-galactosidases in senescent cells: SA-b-galactosidase and lysosomal b-galactosidase. The latter can only be detected…

When using the Cellular senescence live cell analysis assay(ENZ-KIT130), how long does the fluorescence last?
The fluorescence will last for several hours to one day.

Can ENZ-KIT130 be used with cells expressing GFP?
ENZ-KIT130 is not recommended for use on GFP-expressing cells because of the emission spectra overlap between GFP and the fluorogenic…

How long can the cells be saved until analysis by flow cytometry when using the Cellular senescence live cell analysis assay (ENZ-KIT130)?
Analyzing the results within a few hours is recommended because this assay uses live cells. If the cells lyse, the dye…

Are collagen-coated plates compatible with your cellular senescence activity assay (ENZ-KIT129)?
Collagen will not interfere with this assay. You can, therefore, grow your cells on collagen-coated plates.
Tue, Jul 18, 2023
Are ENZ-KIT129 and ENZ-KIT130 compatible with any cell line?
The SA-b-galactosidase is a universal marker for any senescent cell and this assay is not cell type-specific.

Why does the cell pre-treatment solution in ENZ-KIT130 appear to be toxic to my cells?
The cell pre-treatment solution is non-toxic to cells and should not induce cell death. However, some cell types do experience…
