Validation And Comparison Of Single-Step Flash And Dual-Spectral Luciferase Reporter Gene Assays Using The Synergy™ Line Of Microplate Readers
20 Oct 2013Here we investigate the performance of a new type of dual luciferase assay using two luciferases with spectrally resolvable light emissions in either 96- or 384-well density microplates using the Thermo Scientific Gaussia-Firefly Luciferase Dual Assay or Gaussia and Renilla Luciferase Flash Assay Kits, respectively. Assay optimization was performed and assay performance was compared across several BioTek Synergy™ Multi- Mode Microplate Readers configured with injectors using lysate containing expressed luciferase enzymes.

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.

A variety of vectors optimized for gene cloning and expression in a range of host organisms are available, alongside competent cells for genetic replication. Here, you can explore a range of molecular tools, high-quality genomic and cDNA libraries, premade clones, transformation and transfection reagents and mutagenesis or gene expression detection assays and expression arrays.
