Product Introduction:

The Senescence β-Galactosidase Staining Kit is a staining kit for senile cells or tissues based on the up-regulation of SA-β-Gal(senescence-associated β-galactosidase) activity during aging. Aging of cells or tissues can be observed under optical microscopes. Cell aging is also considered as a way for organisms to inhibit tumors and a potential cause of organism aging. The kit can be used for senescence detection of cultured cells and tissue sections.
Using X-Gal as substrate, the Senescence β-Galactosidase Staining Kit produces dark blue products catalyzed by aging-specific β-galactosidase. Cells or tissues expressing β-galactosidase that turn blue are easily observed under optical microscopy. This kit only stains senescent cells. For tissue sections or blocks, the number of samples that can be detected depends on the size of the sample. For ordinary sections or 6-well plate, at least 100 samples can be detected.
