Amplite¢â Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit


Common reporter genes include beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase and luciferase. The advantages of a luciferase assay are the high sensitivity, the absence of luciferase activity inside most of the cell types, the wide dynamic range, rapidity and low cost. The most versatile and common reporter gene is the luciferase of the North American firefly Photinus pyralis. The protein requires no posttranslational modification for enzyme activity. It is not even toxic in high concentration (in vivo) and can be used in pro- and eukaryotic cells. The firefly luciferase catalyzes the bioluminescent oxidation of luciferin in the presence of ATP, magnesium and oxygen. This Amplite¢â Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit uses a proprietary luminogenic formulation to quantify luciferase activity in live cells and cell extracts. Our formulation generates a luminescent product that gives strong luminescence upon interaction with luciferase.


Key Features

Sensitive : Can detect as low as 0.1 pg luciferase/well.
Continuous : Stable luminescence, suitable for manual or automated operations with no mixing or separations
                     required.
Convenient : Formulated to have minimal hands-on time.
Non-Radioactive : No special requirements for waste treatment.

Kit Components

Component A : Luciferase Sensor (Light-sensitive)     1 vial
Component B : Assay buffer                                      1 vial (10 ml))
