Cell viability determination of primary tumor samples after dose ranging drug treatment
This product is the absolute best in its class and keeps getting better. I've been using this since 2009 and have moved from the original reagent to the new improved version 2.0 with greater temperature stability. Incredible dynamic range from 50-100 cells per well all the way out to 50,000 cells within a 384well TC plate. Fantastic!

Great product for great research.
Analysis of ATP levels of cells cultured in 2D or 3D
The CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay from Promega Corp. is easy to use and very efficient to determine the viability of cells based on the ATP levels. Extra- and intracellular ATP is used to produce the luminescent signal and hence, qualitative and quantitative analysis can be performed in less than 30 minutes.

The CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay(a,b) is a homogeneous method of determining the number of viable cells in culture based on quantitation of the ATP present, an indicator of metabolically active cells. The CellTiter-Glo® Assay is designed for use with multiwell formats, making it ideal for automated high-throughput screening (HTS), cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. The homogeneous assay procedure involves adding the single reagent (CellTiter-Glo® Reagent) directly to cells cultured in serum-supplemented medium. Cell washing, removal of medium and multiple pipetting steps are not required. The system detects as few as 15 cells/well in a 384-well format in 10 minutes after adding reagent and mixing.
The homogeneous "add-mix-measure" format results in cell lysis and generation of a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of ATP present. The amount of ATP is directly proportional to the number of cells present in culture. The CellTiter-Glo® Assay generates a "glow-type" luminescent signal, which has a half-life generally greater than five hours, depending on cell type and medium used. The extended half-life eliminates the need to use reagent injectors and provides flexibility for continuous or batch mode processing of multiple plates. The unique homogeneous format avoids errors that may be introduced by other ATP measurement methods that require multiple steps.
Measuring Live Cells and Dead Cells in Real Time for Days Using a Plate Reader: Subsequent Multiplexing to Improve Efficiency and Reproducibility
This Scientific Poster demonstrates how Promega’s recently developed assay technologies make it possible to use multi-well plate readers to measure the number of live or dead cells in culture in real time over a period of days. In addition to providing real time kinetic measurements that are valuable for assay development and characterization activities, multiplexing with other assays provides a time saving approach and statistical advantage inherent in taking measurements from the same sample of cells.
A Homogenous Bioluminescent System for Measuring GTPase, GAP and GEF Activities
GTPases play a major role in various cellular functions such as cell signaling, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cytoskeleton modulation and cell motility. Deregulation or mutation of these proteins results in serious pathological conditions. Targeting GTPases and their regulators have been challenging due to lack of convenient assays. This poster demonstrates the use of a homogenous bioluminescent assay (GTPase/GAP/GEF-Glo) system to analyze these proteins in a simple, convenient “add-mix-read” format, overcoming the challenges in analyzing activities of GTPases and their regulatory proteins, GTPase Activating Proteins (GAP) and Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEF).
Alpha-GST Release as a Predictive Marker of Drug Induced Hepatotoxicity in 3D InSight™ Liver Microtissues
In this study, the assay of alpha-GST release, utilizing the EKF Diagnostics alpha-GST ELISA kits, and the Promega CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell ATP assay were compared as tests for hepatotoxicity using InSphero’s 3D InSight™ Liver Microtissues. As test substances, two compounds with known hepatotoxic risks were chosen: Amiodarone and Diclofenac. Drug induced liver injury (DILI) is a major obstacle in the development of new pharmaceutical identities. Evaluation of potential DILI effects of novel compounds during pre-clinical phases is, therefore, a prerequisite for their safe entry into clinical trials. Hepatocytes, the major cell type in the liver, contain high amounts of metabolic enzymes, which are released upon cellular injury into the cell culture supernatant. Beside the commonly used markers alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alpha-GST is increasingly being used as a liver injury marker.
Quantitation of Sirtuin Activity with a One-Step Luminescent Assay
This poster describes a one-step, homogeneous luminescent assay for the detection of activity for multiple sirtuin isotypes. The Sirtuin family of histone/protein deacetylating enzymes has gained considerable interest both for their recognized importance in processes such as gene silencing and expression and in cellular metabolism. This assay is a convenient and sensitive screening methodology to detect and measure both inhibitors and activators of sirtuin activity.
