The Thermo Scientific Pierce Cypridina Luciferase Flash Assay Kit provides researchers with a highly sensitive assay for transcriptional activity of regulatory elements in mammalian cell culture media and whole cell lysate.

• Sensitive—high sensitivity allows utilization of smaller numbers of cells
• Secreted luciferase—allows real-time assays and kinetic studies without destroying cells
• Ideal for co-transfection—uses a different substrate than Renilla, Gaussia, or firefly luciferases
• Compatible—assay reagents compatible with other Cypridina or Vargula luciferases
• Automation-friendly—amenable to high throughput screens
• Convenient—contains a universal cell lysis buffer and optimized flash assay reagent

This Flash Assay Kit contains reagents for measuring the activity of Cypridina luciferase in mammalian cell culture media and lysates. Cypridina luciferase is highly secreted into the cell culture media, allowing for live cell monitoring of reporter activity. The signal produced by Cypridina is considerably greater than signal from either firefly or Renilla luciferases assayed under similar conditions.
