The Thermo Scientific Mammalian β-Galactosidase Assay Kit provides a simple colorimetric method for lysing cultured mammalian cells and measuring beta-Gal activity.

Features of the Mammalian β-Galactosidase Assay Kit:

  • Choose stand-alone assay reagent or complete kit for cell lysis and detection
  • Colorimetric assay easily measured in a plate reader or spectrophotometer (405nm)
  • Adaptable to 96-well microplates or tube assay formats
  • Perform homogeneous screening assays or measure activity secondarily after cell lysis
  • Also compatiible with prepared lysates from other species such as bacteria

    The Assay Reagent and Kit comprise a simple and versatile assay system for measuring β-galactosidase activity. Mammalian cells grown on a plate may be lysed and tested for β-galactosidase activity by adding a single, all-in-one lysis-and-assay solution. Alternatively, the included Thermo Scientific M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent may be used to prepare lysate from washed adherent or pelleted cells, and then a portion of the lysate used to quantitate the β-Gal activity. With M-PER Reagent, there is no need to scrape cells or to perform freeze-thaw cycles. The remaining lysates prepared with M-PER Reagent may be used for applications such as reporter assays (luciferase, β-galactosidase and chloramphenical acetyltransferase), protein kinase assays (PKA, PKC, and Tyrosine Kinase), immunoassays (Western blot, ELISA, RIA) and protein purification.

  • Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

    I tested the Mammalian beta-Galactosidase Assay Kit and did not use the Stop Solution. I performed three absorbance readings and the values were different, why is this?

    Using the Assay Stop Solution is optional. However, if the Stop Solution is not used, the absorbance values from the plate will change over time. This means that the absorbance needs to be read immediately after the 30 min incubation.

    How do I prepare cells for the Mammalian beta-Galactosidase Assay Kit?

    Thermo Scientific M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent (Cat. No.78503) may be used to prepare lysate from washed adherent or pelleted cells, and then a portion of the lysate can be used to assay for beta-galactosidase activity.
