A GloMax® Multi Microplate Luminometer Method for Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System

Promega Corp.
23 Jun 2015

The Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay (DLR) from Promega is ideal as a dual genetic reporting luminescence-based assay system for quantitation of gene expression. Two different luciferase reporter enzymes, the firefly (Photinus pyralis) and Renilla (sea pansy or Renilla reniformis), are expressed simultaneously in each cell creating an efficient means of performing two reporter assays in a single sample. The GloMax® Multi Microplate Luminometer with dual injectors provides a convenient, rapid, and sensitive method for quantifying gene expression when used with the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter (DLR) Assay kit. The superior sensitivity and wide dynamic range of the GloMax® Multi Microplate Luminometer make it highly suited for the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter (DLR) Assay application. The GloMax® Multi Microplate Luminometer detects less than 1x10-19 moles of firefly luciferase enzyme using Luciferase Assay Reagent II (LAR II) and 1x10-18 moles of Renilla enzyme using Stop & Glo® Reagent. The GloMax® Multi Microplate Luminometer offers superior sensitivity and dynamic range for luminescence detection, such as the luminescence based dual-reporter assays.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
