Cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays are commonly used in the drug discovery process to assess a compound’s ability to cause or block a biologic activity without having toxic effects on cells. Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP) – monitoring assays allow for the quantitative evaluation of proliferation and cytotoxicity.
Our ATP luminescence assays provide a more sensitive alternative to colorimetric, fluorometric, and radioisotopic based assays for monitoring cell viability and proliferation. These innovative, patented technologies are based on the production of light caused by the reaction of ATP with added luciferase and D-luciferin.
Choose our ATPlite™ 1step assay for a single addition assay and our ATPlite assay for extended signal stability.
