High sensitivity and wide detection range: detection of as little of 2 fg luciferase and as few as 4 cells. Plus, the emitted light is linear over seven orders of magnitude.Compatible with routine laboratory and HTS formats: assays can be performed in tubes or microplates, on LJL Analyst, Berthold Luminometer, Top-Count, MicroBeta counters, chemiluminescent image plate readers (CLIPR/LeadSeeker). Assay reagents compatible with all liquid handling systems.Fast and convenient: homogeneous "mix-and-measure" assay allows detection of luciferase levels within 10 minutes. The optimally combined reagent system allows a single addition step, and simultaneous cell lysis and detection.Robust and amenable to HTS: Z factors of 0.6 to 0.8 are observed in 96-well and 384-well plates. Can be readily automated on HTS liquid handling systems.
