Luciferase assays to aid in your COVID-19 vaccine research |
Luciferases are enzymes that use a substrate called luciferin, along with oxygen and ATP, in an energetic process that produces light—like the yellow glow of fireflies. The power of luciferase has been harnessed by scientists to devise reactions whose light output is used to monitor biological processes including gene expression, biomolecular binding, and cell viability.
- Measuring luciferase expression using the SpectraMax® Glo Steady-Luc™ Reporter Assay Kit
- Dual-Luciferase Reporter (DLR) Assay
- Monitor NF-κB activation with a sensitive dual reporter assay
- Detect dual luciferase expression
- Highly sensitive dual luciferase detection with the SpectraMax® DuoLuc™ Reporter Assay Kit

Application Spotlight |
High-throughput screening of 3D cell cultures with multiple high density scaffold-free spheroids for cancer toxicity studies |
Here, we demonstrate the use of the Corning® Elplasia® 96-well plates with a 3D culture workflow that includes spheroid generation, compound treatment, cytotoxicity assay, 3D imaging on the ImageXpress® Micro Confocal High-Content Imaging System, and 3D image analysis using MetaXpress® High-Content Image Acquisition and Analysis Software.
- Easily increase the number of spheroids per experimental condition
- Grow, stain, and image large numbers of spheroids simultaneously
- Use high-content imaging for simultaneous 3D analysis of multiple spheroids or organoids
