Caspase activity assays either use peptide substrates, which are cleaved by caspases in cell extracts, or similar substrates that bind to activated caspases in live cells. Caspase specificity varies by substrate: learn more about caspase substrates.
Caspase activity assays: cell lysates
Assays for colorimetric and fluorimetric analysis using a plate reader.
