D-Luciferin potassium salt

D-Luciferin potassium salt (order# BC219) is a highly water-soluble, premium-grade bioluminescent substrate extensively used as a reporter for the enzyme Firefly Luciferase (from Photinus pyralis). As a cornerstone of actual molecular biology and molecular imaging, it facilitates the sensitive detection of biological processes by converting chemical energy into light.

The mechanism and applications of D-Luciferin potassium salt (order# BC219) are typical in an ATP-dependent reaction, where luciferase catalyzes the oxidation of D-luciferin to oxyluciferin, yielding a high-intensity bioluminescent signal.

This reaction of the D-Luciferin potassium salt (order# BC219) is fundamental for:

• In Vivo Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI): Monitoring tumor growth, gene expression, and therapeutic efficacy in living animal models due to the substrate’s excellent bioavailability and tissue penetration.
• Reporter Gene Assays: Quantifying gene expression levels in transfected cell lines with high signal-to-noise ratios.
• ATP & Cell Viability Analysis: Detecting metabolic activity and infinitesimal levels of ATP in various biological samples.
• Pathogen Tracking: Real-time visualization of bacterial or viral infections in preclinical research.

Our D-Luciferin potassium salt BC219 (the potassium salt of the free acid S039) is wordwide used in the cancer research. A lot of researchers have used our high quality D-Luciferin potassium salt so far.
