Cell Technology announces the release of Fluoro GST^TM, Glutathione S-Transferase Fluorescence Activity Kit. Fluoro GST is designed to quantitatively measure the activity of GST present in a variety of samples. The kit utilizes a non-fluorescent molecule that is a substrate for the GST enzyme that covalently attaches to glutathione (GSH) to yield a highly fluorescent product. The Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) family of isozymes function to detoxify and neutralize a wide variety of electrophilic molecules by mediating their conjugation with reduced glutathione. GST has been implicated in the study of as a biomarker for arthritis, asthma, COPD, and multiple forms of cancer. In addition, GST activity is thought to be involved in specific neoplasms to anticancer therapy. Please click here to learn more.

Cell Technology launches Fluoro Sarcosine^TM, Fluorescent Sarcosine Detection Kit.

Cell Technology announces the release of aCella^TM – cAMP , Cyclic AMP Chemiluminescent Immunoassay Kit. Cyclic AMP is designed to quantitatively measure cAMP present in cell lystate, plasma, urine, saliva, tissue and culture media samples. The kit is ultra-sensitive kit that measures levels as little as < 1 fmol cAMP per sample. Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is one of the most important secondary messengers and a key intracellular regulator. Other biological actions of cAMP include regulation of innate immune functioning, axon regeneration, cancer and inflammation. Please click here to learn more.

Cell Technology announces the release of aCella^TM – cGMP , Cyclic GMP Chemiluminescent Immunoassay Kit. Cyclic GMP measures cGMP present in lysed cells, EDTA, plasma, urine, saliva and culture media samples. This ultra-sensitive kit measures levels as little as < 1fmol cGMP per sample. Cyclic GMP is a critical and multifunctional secondary messenger present at levels typically 10-100 fold lower than cAMP in most tissues. Cycle GMP regulates cellular composition through cGMP-dependent kinase, cGMP-dependent ion channels or transporters and through its hydrolytic degradation by phosphodiestererase.
