Product Description

The commonly used method of eukarYOtic gene expression regulation research is the detection of reporter genes, and bioluminescence is the most commonly used and effective means of reporter gene detection. Luciferase can catalyze the conversion of the substrate luciferin and emit photons. This product provides a rapid, sensitive and stable detection method for the expression of Renilla luciferase reporter gene in mammalian cells.

Product characteristic：

1.Rapid : Cell lysis was completed within 10-15 min ；

2.Convenience : The reagent is easy to prepare, and the sample detection steps are simple；

Instruction：
1. Cell lysis
( 1 ) Remove the culture medium and gently wash with PBS ( adherent cells can be directly performed this operation, suspension cells should be centrifuged to collect cells ). Add 1 × Lysis Buffer ( diluted component A with sterile water at 4 : 1 ) according to the following scheme, and then place the culture plate on a micro-oscillator at room temperature for 15 min to fully lyse the cells. 

Note : The pyrolysis products can be stored at room temperature for 6 h, and can be stored at − 70 °C for a long time ( the pyrolysis products cannot be repeatedly frozen and thawed ).
( 2 ) The pyrolysis products after full pyrolysis were centrifuged at 10000-15000 rpm for 3-5 min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was moved into a new EP tube for subsequent detection.
2. Preparation of working fluid
( 1 ) Restore all components to room temperature.
( 2 ) Dilute component C into renilla luciferase working solution with component B, and the dilution method is to add 1 μL C component to 49 μL B component.
3.chemiluminescence value detection
( 1 ) According to the operation instructions of the instrument, the instrument with chemiluminescence detection function was opened, such as multifunctional microplate reader. The parameters were set, the determination time was 10 s, and the determination interval was 2 s.
( 2 ) The cell lysis products were added to the measuring tube according to the volume of 20 ~ 100 μL ( keep the same amount of samples each time ). 1 × Lysis Buffer was blank control.
( 3 ) 100 μL renilla luciferase working solution was added to determine the RLU ( Relative light unit ) value ( Shaking mixing function is recommended for microplate reader ).
Note : The renilla luciferase working solution cannot be stored for a long time. It is now ready for use and is used once.

Matters needing attention：

Scope of application： Matters needing attention：

1.Please instantaneously centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube before use, and then carry out subsequent experiments ; 

2.Due to the influence of temperature on the enzyme reaction, the sample and reagent should be measured after reaching room temperature. 

3.The strongest wavelength of bioluminescence catalyzed by renilla luciferase is 480 nm, in order to prevent interference between holes, it is recommended to use white opaque orifice plate ;

4.. B component is recommended to carry out small batch packing according to the experimental requirements ; 

5.It is recommended to use it now to avoid repeated freezing and thawing ; 6.For your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and wear disposable gloves.

Scope of application：

Study on gene expression regulation and promoter
