Luciferase-250.jpg

Luciferase reporter assays are widely used because of their sensitive detection capacity and broad dynamic range. While many companies make instruments to detect and measure luciferase activity, identifying the right instrument for you can be difficult because of their high degree of feature variability. We therefore gathered salient information about many of the instruments available to date so we could provide a resource to help you compare the different instruments, their type, spectral resolution compatibility, filter size, and injectors (if any).
