Dual-Light® luminescent reporter gene assay is designed for the rapid and sensitive detection of firefly luciferase and b-galactosidase in a single extract aliquot for gene expression assays. Detection of firefly luciferase and b-galactosidase in the same sample simplifies normalization of transfection efficiency Wide dynamic range of b-galactosidase and luciferase assays enables accurate measurement of both enzymes from…

The Galacto-Light™ beta-Galactosidase Reporter Gene Assay System is designed for the rapid, ultrasensitive detection of b-galactosidase in reporter gene assays.

The Galacto-Light Plus™ beta-Galactosidase Reporter Gene Assay System is designed for the rapid, ultrasensitive detection of b-galactosidase in reporter gene assays.

The Galacto-Star™ One-Step beta-Galactosidase Reporter Gene Assay System chemiluminescent reporter gene assay system enables rapid, sensitive detection of B-galactosidase in cell lysates.

The Gal-Screen® assay system combines direct cell lysis with rapid, ultra-sensitive chemiluminescent detection of β-galactosidase reporter enzyme.

The Luc-Screen® assay system with extended-glow light emission is designed for sensitive detection of firefly luciferase reporter enzyme.

IPTG (Isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside) is an inducer of the lac operon and is frequently used in conjunction with X-GAL to determine the lac phenotype of recombinant plasmids or phage. IPTG is also used to induce the expression of cloned genes that are under control of the lac operon.

X-GAL (5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3 Indolyl-Beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside) is a chromogenic substrate for Beta-galactosidase that turns blue upon hydrolysis and is regularly used for the blue/white color selection assay. Bacteria with a lac+ phenotype grow as blue colonies on plates containing X-GAL.

The pMIR-REPORT™ miRNA Expression Reporter Vector System provides accurate, quantitative, in-cell measurement of miRNA expression.
