SpectraMax Glo Steady-Luc Reporter Assay Kit Luciferase measurement for your microplate reader assay KEY FEATURES • Glow-type luminescence provides an extended signal time window enabling batch processing of plates in screening assays • Optimized for luminescence microplate readers • Simplified data acquisition and analysis with preconfigured protocols in SoftMax Pro Software Reporter gene assays are an important tool for biomedical and pharmaceutical researchers to monitor cellular events associated with gene expression, gene regulation, and signal transduction. Firefly luciferase, one of the most commonly used reporters, produces light by catalyzing a bioluminescence reaction that oxidizes D-luciferin in the presence of oxygen and ATP. The application of luciferase-based reporter assay using luminescence microplate readers has become increasingly popular for high-throughput analysis of gene expression as well as drug discovery applications. The SpectraMax® Glo Steady-Luc™ Reporter Assay Kit provides a highly sensitive assay for the quantitation of firefly luciferase expression in mammalian cells. Using a homogeneous protocol, the specially formulated reagent mixture in this kit modifies the activity of luciferase for a significantly extended signal window with half-life around three hours, therefore enabling batch processing of plates in screening assays. This assay kit is optimized for Molecular Devices SpectraMax® microplate readers with a preconfigured protocol provided in SoftMax® Pro Software for simplified data acquisition and analysis.
