ProRed™-derived protease substrates are colorless and non-fluorescent. Cleavage of blocking protease-cleavable peptide residue by caspases generates the strongly red fluorescent ProRed™ that can be monitored fluorimetrically at ~620 nm with excitation of ~530 nm. ProRed™-derived caspase substrates are the most sensitive red indicators for the fluorimetric detection of various caspase activities. This DEVD-ProRed™ substrate is specific for detecting caspases 3 and 7.

Important notes
It is important to store at <-15 °C and should be stored in cool, dark place.
It can be used within 12 months from the date of receipt.
PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTION
Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
1. Z-DEVD-ProredTM 620 stock solution (10 mM):
Add 65 µL of DMSO into the vial of 1 mg Z-DEVD-ProredTM 620 to make 10 mM stock solution.
PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION
Caspase 3/7 assay solution (2X):
Mix 50 µL Z-DEVD-ProRed™ 620 stock solution (10 mM), 100 µL DTT (1M), 400 µL EDTA (100 mM) and 10 mL Tris Buffer (20 mM), pH =7.4.
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
- Mix equal volume of the caspase 3/7 standards or samples with 2X caspase 3/7 assay reaction solution and incubate at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Monitor the fluorescence increase at Ex/Em = 535/620 nm.

Figure 1. Detection of Caspase 3/7 Activities in Jurkat cells.
Jurkat cells were seeded on the same day at 200,000 cells/90 uL/well in a Costar black wall/clear bottom 96-well plate. The cells were treated with staurosporine at the final concentration of 1 uM for 5 hours while the untreated cells were used as control. The Z-DEVD-ProRed™ 620 assay solution (100 uL/well) was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The fluorescence intensity was measured at Ex/Em = 540/620 nm with FlexStation fluorescence microplate reader (Molecular Devices).
