The Thermo Scientific Pierce Gaussia Luciferase Flash Assay Kit provides researchers with the most sensitive assay for transcriptional activity of regulatory elements in mammalian cell culture media and whole cell lysate.
Features of the Gaussia Luciferase Flash Assay Kit:
This Flash Assay Kit contains reagents for measuring the activity of Gaussia luciferase in mammalian cell culture media and lysates. When used with Thermo Scientific Gaussia Luc Vectors, the kit provides an extremely sensitive bioluminescent reporter assay system for secreted or intracellular detection of promoter or pathway activity. Gaussia luciferase is highly secreted into the cell culture media, allowing for live cell monitoring of reporter activity. The signal produced by Gaussia is considerably greater than signal from either firefly or Renilla luciferases assayed under similar conditions.
Includes:
Cell lysis buffer, reaction buffer and substrate
Requires:
Gaussia luciferase and luminometer or other instrument capable of monitoring luminescence, such as the Varioskan ALF or the Varioskan LUX microplate readers.
Applications:
Gaussia luciferase is a 20kDa protein from the marine copepod, Gaussia princeps. The bioluminescent enzyme is highly secreted into the cell culture media, allowing for live cell monitoring of reporter activity. Light output generated by the luciferase reaction can be correlated to the amount of Gaussia luciferase protein produced and used to determine the activity of the promoter driving Gaussia expression. The signal produced by Gaussia luciferase shows strong flash kinetics and is considerably greater than flash signals from either firefly or Renilla luciferases assayed under similar conditions. The assay kit is optimized for use with our Gaussia Luc Vectors but is fully compatible with other Gaussia luciferases and derivatives that use coelenterazine as a substrate. (For glow assays, use our Gaussia-Dura Luc Vectors.)
