Chemiluminescent reporter-gene assays

Invitrogen has introduced the NovaBright assays for study of gene expression. They are available in three formats: the Secreted Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (SEAP) Kit, the β-galactosidase and the Firefly Luciferase Dual Enzyme Reporter Gene Chemiluminescent Detection Kit, and the β-galactosidase Enzyme Reporter Gene Chemiluminescent Detection Kit. The gene assays offer chemiluminescent measurement of reporter gene activity, which is more sensitive than colorimetric or fluorescent detection, according to the company. The kits are optimized to yield consistent results with high sensitivity over a dynamic range from femtogram to nanogram amounts of reporter.
