EnzChek™ Elastase Assay Kit (Invitrogen™)

The EnzChek Elastase Assay Kit provides a sensitive, convenient and fast fluorometric method for measuring elastase or other protease activity in purified enzyme systems, cell/tissue lysates or for screening inhibitors in a high-throughput format. The substrate in the EnzChek kit is our BODIPY-FL-labeled DQ elastin conjugate that is highly labeled so that the fluorescence signal is quenched until enzymatic digestion yields highly fluorescent fragments.
