Cell-based assays have become a classic way to monitor cells’ reactions to a treatment or a specific stimulus. They involve a reporter construction and a detection system. The classic system is Firefly Luciferase, combined or not with Renilla Luciferase. Luciferases allow simple data acquisition on a plate reader.

Nevertheless, Firefly Luciferase requires cell lysis. End-point acquisition is the only method and optimizations of the right moment is recommended. To bring more convenience, robustness and higher sensitivity, Gaussian luciferase can well be your better choice.
