Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Renilla Luciferase Glow Assay Kit

Description

• Thermo Scientific™ Pierce Renilla Luciferase Glow Assay Kit provides an extremely bright and stable bioluminescence signal (half-life approx
• 3 hours), especially in the presence of Green Renilla luciferase reporter
• This Pierce Luciferase Glow Assay Kit contains reagents for measuring the activity of Renilla luciferase in cell lysates
• In the presence of luciferase, the glow reagent provides stable bioluminescent signal and is highly suited for luminometers without injectors or for batch processing of samples
• The light output generated by the luciferase reaction can be correlated with the amount of luciferase protein produced which in turn is proportional to the promoter activity driving the luciferase expression
• The glow assay reagents were optimized for best results with Thermo Scientific Green Renilla Luc Plasmids; however, this glow kit may be used to detect the activity of other Renilla luciferase derivatives that use coelenterazine as a substrate
• Highlights: Sensitive – highly sensitive detection of Green Renilla luciferase activity Stable – increased signal stability compared to flash assays Simple – does not require a luminometer with injectors Compatible – assay reagents compatible with other Renilla luciferases Automation-friendly – amenable to high throughput assays Convenient – contains a universal cell lysis buffer and optimized glow assay reagent Safe – allows one to perform non-radioactive assays Includes: Cell lysis buffer, reaction buffer and substrate Requires: Renilla luciferase and luminometer or other instrument capable of monitoring luminescence, such as Thermo Scientific Luminoskan™ Ascent and Varioskan™ Flash Microplate Readers Recommended for: Promoter studies for analyzing cis - regulatory elements and trans -acting factors; Drug screening; siRNA and miRNA screening; Multiplexed assays to study off-target effects; Protein localization reporter assays; Signal transduction pathway analysis; RNA splicing studies
