Luciferase (LUC)

Description Laboratories selecting a Luciferase enzyme need to verify the product identity, expression method, activity, purity, physical form, and storage stability before use. Luc-201 is Luciferase (LUC) from a microorganism, produced by recombinant expression and identified by Enzyme Commission number EC 1.14.14.3. Luc-201 is available as a white lyophilized powder or liquid. Its specifications include a specific activity of ≥150 BU/mg protein, an activity of ≥10 BU/mg solid, and a purity of ≥90%. The separate specific activity and activity values allow laboratories to review each stated parameter without treating the two measurements as interchangeable. For storage planning, Luc-201 has a stated stability of at least 1 year at 2–8°C and at least 3 years at −20°C. The product is intended only for research and manufacturing use and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
