We recommend using a newer version of this product: Epigenase HDAC Activity/Inhibition Direct Assay Kit (Fluorometric).
The EpiQuik™ HDAC Activity/Inhibition Assay Kit (Fluorometric) is a ready-to-use set of essential components needed to measure HDAC activity/inhibition safely and quickly. It is suitable for measuring HDAC activity/inhibition from a broad range of species including mammalian cells/tissues, plants, and bacteria.
WHY CHOOSE THE EPIQUIK™ HDAC ACTIVITY/INHIBITION ASSAY KIT (FLUOROMETRIC),
The EpiQuik™ HDAC Activity/Inhibition Assay Kit (Fluorometric) is designed for measuring total HDAC activity/inhibition. In an assay with this kit, the unique acetylated histone substrate is stably captured on the strip wells. Active HDACs bind to and deacetylate histone substrate. The remaining un-deacetylated substrate can be recognized with a high affinity acetylated histone antibody. The ratio or amount of the un-deacetylated histone, which is inversely proportional to HDAC enzyme activity, can then be fluorometrically quantified.
