For cost-effective automated screening and batch plate processing our luciferin-based reporter gene systems produce a long-lived glow type signal with a half-life of several hours.
Reporter gene assays with easily measurable phenotypes
Characterize the strength of promoters and enhancers
Define the role of transcription factors
Assess transfection efficiency
Convenient one-step processing: No washes required -- simply mix, incubate and read
Strong signal for remarkably accurate and thorough firefly luciferase reading
Enhanced stability: All our luciferase-based reagents are designed for extended storage at 2-8°C
No DTT: Unlike most luciferase detection reagents, ours do not contain DTT, eliminating toxic hazards and the need for hood work
Amenable to high throughput and ultra-high throughput environments, using 384- or 1536-well microplate formats
Excellent Z' Values: All systems offer robust, sensitive performance, with high signal-to-background ratios and excellent Z' values
The Passive Lysis Solution (PLS) is a mammalian cell lysis solution intended to be used to prepare cell lysates for measurement of luciferase activity with the twinlite and sensilite reporter gene assay systems. It is provided in the twinlite and Sensilite kits, but if additional volume of the lysis solution is required, it is also available as a separate item, 100 mL volume per bottle.
sensilite is an Enhanced Flash Firefly luciferase detection assay system designed to detect and quantitate Firefly luciferase from cultured cells with optimum sensitivity. The assay requires the use of a luminometer equipped with a dispenser as the signal has to be read shortly after dispensing.
twinlite is a dual luciferase reporter gene assay system designed to detect and quantitate both Firefly and Renilla luciferase sequentially from cultured cells. It requires the use of a luminometer equipped with two dispensers as the signal has to be read shortly after dispensing.
L-proline, labeled with tritium at C2, C3, C4, C5. 3H-L-proline is commonly used in proline metabolism, amino acid uptake and release, and protein synthesis studies.
α-Methylaminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB), labeled with C-14 at C1. 14C-MeAIB is a non-metabolizable tracer commonly used in amino acid transporter influx and placental transport studies.
L-lysine, uniformly labeled with C-14. 14C-L-lysine is commonly used in histone labeling of chromatin, amino acid uptake, and protein synthesis studies.
