Firefly luciferases are widely used as reporter genes for studying gene regulation and function, and for pharmaceutical screening. The Luciferase Reporter Assay Kit I provides a complete systems for rapid, convenient, and quantitative detection of Firefly luciferase activity in cultured eukaryotic cells. They are optimized to provide excellent sensitivity as well as consistent light output when working with multiple samples. Firefly luciferase catalyzes the oxidative carboxylation of luciferin, a reaction with the highest efficiency of any known bioluminescence reaction. Consequently, this sensitive reporter is ideally suited for studying gene regulation and function.
