Luciferase Detection Kit

Luciferase Detection Kit

Luciferase is a general term for enzymes that can produce bioluminescence in nature. The most representative types of luciferase are those from Firefly and Renilla. Luciferase catalyzes the conversion of specific luciferin substrates to oxyluciferin and emits intense light.

HanBio provides luciferase and dual luciferase detection kits to help you operate experiments easily and efficiently.

Luciferase Detection Kit Principle of Experiment

  • Luciferase (Firefly) Reporter Assay Kit

Firefly luciferase (fluc) can catalyze the bioluminescence reaction of luciferin. The reaction process is shown in the following figure.


Luciferase (Firefly) Reporter Assay Kit


The assay kit used fluorescein as a substrate to detect the activity of firefly reporter gene. This method has the advantages of simple operation, fast detection and high sensitivity.


  • Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay Kit

Firefly luciferase (fluc) and renilla luciferase (renilla luciferase, rluc) can catalyze the bioluminescence reaction of luciferin and coelenterazine, respectively, as shown in the following figure.


Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay Kit


In the dual-luciferase Reaction, the fLuc signal was detected by Luciferase Reaction Reagent I. Subsequently, Luciferase Reaction Reagent II was added directly. The signal of fLuc was quenched and the rLuc signal was generated at the same time. This method has the advantages of simple operation, fast detection and high sensitivity.
