Monitor NF-κB activation with a sensitive dual reporter assay on the SpectraMax iD5 microplate reader

24 Feb 2021

Reporter genes are valuable tools for studying gene expression, serving as surrogates for genes involved in various signaling pathways and disease conditions, with Luciferases being the most common of these.

In this application note, Molecular Devices demonstrates how the DuoLuc reporter assay and SpectraMax iD5 reader can be utilized to detect nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation in mammalian cell models.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
