Biological Activity Assays
Activity Assays & Reagents
R&D Systems offers a variety of research tools to measure the activity of your molecule of interest. In contrast to more traditional assays that measure analyte levels, these kits and reagents provide a functional assessment and, therefore, a direct measurement of analyte activity. R&D Systems currently offers kinase activity assays, phosphatase activity assays, and protease activity assays. Kits and reagents are also available to measure active biological processes including transcription factor binding, cell viability/proliferation, apoptosis, and DNA damage and repair.
Universal Kinase Activity Kit
Non-radioactive, plate-based kit to assess the activity of most kinases in vitro by measuring inorganic phosphate release
Protease Activity Assays & Reagents
- Kits to measure MMP and Caspase activity
- Fluorogenic peptides to measure protease activity
- Active recombinant proteases
- Pharmacological Inhibitors for Caspases and Serine Proteases
Glycobiology Assay Kits
Microplate-based, non-radioactive assays to assess activity of glycobiology-related enzymes
Cell Viability, Growth, & Proliferation Reagents
Colorimetric and fluorescence-based kits and reagents to measure cell viability, growth, proliferation, and cytotoxicity
