This kit is designed to measure Renilla luciferase activity in transfected cell reporter gene assays.

• Highly sensitive and linear flash-type RLuc assay
• Easy-to-handle water-soluble substrates
• Excellent performance and great value compared to other suppliers

This kit is designed for simple and efficient quantitation of Renilla luciferase (RLuc) reporter enzyme activity from cultured cells with high sensitivity and linearity. It utilizes a special buffer formulation designed to minimise autoluminescence background for excellent sensitivity, and features Biotium’s Aquaphile™ Coelenterazine, a water soluble substrate that can be stored at –20°C with minimal evaporation, unlike methanol solutions of coelenterazine. This kit is a flash-type luminescence assay, which requires luminescence to be measured immediately after adding reagents to your sample. It requires a single-tube luminometer or a luminescence microplate reader with reagent injectors.

The stated number of assays is based on 96-well assay format. The kits include enough Passive Lysis Buffer to perform the stated number of assays in plate sizes ranging from 96-well to 24-well. If needed, additional 5X Passive Lysis Buffer (BTIU99912) can be purchased separately.

Biotium also offers the Firefly and Renilla Luciferase Single Tube Assay Kit (BTIU30081-1), a combined luciferase assay kit for sequential measurement of Firefly and Renilla luciferase activity sequentially in the same sample with high sensitivity and linearity.
