Luciferin Detection Reagent

Luciferin Detection Reagent (LDR) is used to detect luciferin formed following enzymatic modification of pro-luciferin substrates. Enzymes such as CYP450s convert specific pro-luciferin substrates into luciferin, which is then converted into light following the addition of LDR through the action of Ultra-Glo™ Luciferase. The LDR reagent simultaneously stops the initial enzymatic reaction and initiates a stable glow-type luminescent signal with a half-life >2 hours.
