Lysate Kinase Activity Assays
PhosphoSens Lysate Assays directly quantify functional kinase activity in cell and tissue lysates. Unlike phosphoprotein methods that only measure phosphorylation state as a proxy, PhosphoSens captures true enzymatic activity at the substrate level, delivering real-time progress curves in a biologically relevant context.
Every well produces a complete activity profile — not just a snapshot — so you can clearly see kinase function, inhibitor dynamics, and pathway modulation in the context of native biology.

Direct, Real-Time Detection of Kinase Activity in Complex Samples

PhosphoSens Lysate Assays directly quantify functional kinase activity in cell and tissue lysates. Unlike phosphoprotein methods that only measure phosphorylation state as a proxy, PhosphoSens captures true enzymatic activity at the substrate level, delivering real-time progress curves in a biologically relevant context.
Kinase Activity Across Real Cell Models
See how kinase activity changes across multiple cell lines, conditions, and stimuli — and why functional assays reveal dynamics that phospho readouts miss.
Phosphorylation ≠ Activity
Most kinase assays infer activity from phospho-status. Learn why catalytic function and phosphorylation often diverge — and how PhosphoSens measures real activity.
