Epigenase™ HDAC Activity/Inhibition Direct Assay Kit
Measure total activity/inhibition of HDAC enzymes in nuclear extracts or purified HDAC isoforms (HDACs 1–11).
Streamlined HDAC Assay with High Sensitivity
ELISA-like kits to measure HDAC activity or inhibition using nuclear extracts or purified enzyme from a broad range of species — results in ~3 h 30 min.
- Fast & simple: Complete the entire procedure in just 3 hours 30 minutes.
- Direct detection: Measures HDAC-converted deacetylated products — no trypsin-based peptide cleavage.
- Versatile: Works with cell/tissue extracts or purified HDAC enzymes, enabling detection of inhibitor effects in vivo and in vitro.
- Sensitive: Detects activity from as little as 0.5 ng of purified HDAC enzyme.
- Reliable: Includes a potent class I/II HDAC inhibitor as a positive control.
- Flexible: Strip-well microplate format suitable for manual or high-throughput analysis.
- Proven & trusted: Highly cited in over 100 peer-reviewed studies.
Whether you’re testing a few samples or large batches, this HDAC assay delivers consistent, dependable results with unmatched convenience.

View Product DetailsFrequently Asked Questions
What does this HDAC kit measure?
Total activity or inhibition of classical (Zn2+-dependent) HDACs—Classes I, II, and IV—via direct colorimetric readout of deacetylated products.
Does it detect sirtuins (Class III)?
No. It’s optimized for HDAC1–11. Use a sirtuin-specific assay for SIRT1–7.
Compatible sample types?
Nuclear extracts or purified HDAC isoforms from multiple species; compatible with cultured cells and tissues.
Sensitivity / amount needed?
Detects as little as 0.5 ng purified HDAC. For screening, use ~5–20 ng per well.
Assay time?
About 3.5 hours.
