The invention provides a single-well, microscale method of determining the specific apoptotic activity of a cell. The method consists of contacting a cell population of about 1.times.10.sup.5 cells for a time period of between about 30 minutes and 4 hours with a sufficient volume of medium containing an apoptotic specific diagnostic reagent and a diagnostic accessory reagent so as to cover the cell population, and determining the activity of the apoptotic specific diagnostic reagent. The invention also provides a method of identifying a compound which induces apoptosis. The invention further provides a rapid method of identifying a compound which inhibits apoptosis.
