Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ D-Luciferin, Monopotassium Salt

Description

• Thermo Scientific Pierce D-Luciferin is formulated at greater than 99% purity as both monosodium and monopotassium salts to provide convenience and high performance at a low cost in reporter assays involving firefly luciferase
• Luciferin is the substrate for bioluminescence reactions with firefly luciferase enzyme
• Lyophilized potassium and sodium salts of firefly luciferin are stable and easily soluble, and both formulations are compatible with a wide variety of luciferase-based in vivo imaging and in vitro bioluminescent assays
• (The decision to use one or the other form is a matter of researcher preference.) Applications include ATP assays, gene reporter assays, high-throughput sequencing and various contamination assays throughout the biotechnology field
• For in vivo imaging, the injection of luciferin in model systems enables real-time, non-invasive monitoring of disease progression and/or drug efficacy through bioluminescence
• Highlights: High purity, typically greater than 99.7%, as verified by HPLC and FTIR Great performance with in vitro applications Suitable for in vivo imaging Applications: Gene reporter assays ATP assays High throughput sequencing Contamination assays Bioluminescent in vivo imaging Drug screening Multiplexed assays to study off-target effects Signal transduction pathway analysis
