Luminescence Assays
Luciferase assays allow for the study of transcriptional gene expression, virus life cycles, and cell viability, making them significant tools for drug development in reporter gene, cytotoxicity, and cell proliferation applications. Our luminescence assays include reporter gene and ATP-monitoring.
A luminescence assay is extremely useful as a detection platform for several reasons, including:
- Wide dynamic range
- Greater sensitivity than fluorescence technologies
- Lower interference than other detection options
- Cost effective detection
- Simple automation for high throughput applications
- Homogenous luciferase assay set-up eliminates wash and separation steps
Our luciferase luminescence assay options allow high sensitivity in a convenient microplate format.

ATPlite assay performance in human primary cells.
In this application note three ATP monitoring luminescence assays were assessed and compared head-to-head: (i) ATPlite™ from Revvity, (ii) ATPlite™ 1step from Revvity and (iii) ATP assay kit from a competitor company.

Comparison of EMT Biomarker Expression in 2D Monolayer and 3D Spheroid Cultures in a Prostate Cancer
AlphaLISA and LANCE (TR-FRET) biomarker assays can be used to measure ECM-associated protein modulation caused by human transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) induction of EMT in a 3D Spheroid model of human prostate carcinoma.

Cytotoxicity, cell viability, and cell proliferation are important parameters to monitor when developing new therapeutics. For almost 20 years, Revvity has offered two options for the measurement of cellular levels of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) from mammalian cell monolayers, as a marker of cell viability and proliferation. Both the ATPlite™ and ATPlite 1step assays (2D and 3D) are based on the production of light caused by the reaction of cellular ATP with added firefly luciferase and D-luciferin.

Multi-parametric assessment of EGF treatment effects on signaling pathways, growth and proliferation using AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra and cellular imaging
In this application note, we demonstrate an efficient cell-based workflow for the assessment of EGF treatment effects in a cellular model of human skin cancer. Treatment effects on several intracellular signaling pathways were examined using Revvity’s homogeneous, no-wash AlphaLISA ™ SureFire® Ultra assays. To determine concurrent time-dependent effects of different EGF concentrations on cellular health and proliferation, ATP concentrations were assessed with ATPlite ® 1step luminescence assay and cultures were fluorescently labeled, imaged and analyzed using the Operetta CLS™ high-content analysis system.

Multi-parametric high-throughput analysis of hepatotoxicity using a 3D primary liver cell culture model
3D cell cultures offer a more physiologically relevant option, but there are currently only a few high throughput screening (HTS) 3D systems that have high consistency and easily allow integration with downstream analysis methods. In this application note, we demonstrate the creation of an advanced 3D primary human hepatocyte (PHH) model using the RASTRUM platform that seamlessly integrates with Revvity’s HTS technologies.

Proliferation and cell death analyses of 3D cultures using Revvity CellCarrier Spheroid ULA microplates and ATPlite 3D products.
In the process of developing new therapeutic molecules, toxicity – whether it is to be avoided or whether it is desired – is an important feature to consider as early as possible in the development flow.

Rapid, no-wash measurement of immune checkpoint molecules and cytokines in co-cultures of immune cells and cancer cell lines
Breast cancer tumors can adapt to immune cell infiltration by responding to the increased concentration of interferon gamma (IFN-ɣ) and other cytokines secreted by subsets of T lymphocytes with the upregulation of the immune checkpoint proteins such as Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1). These checkpoint proteins allow the tumors to evade immune targeting and reduce the immune response, thus promoting tumor progression. In this application note, you will learn: How exogenous addition of IFN-ɣ effects the expression of PD-L1 and secretion of several cytokines in cultures of HCC38 cells (a triple-negative breast cancer cell line) How co-culturing activated immune cells and breast cancer cells stimulates differential expression of some immune checkpoint and inflammatory biomarkers compared to culturing cells alone with PBMC-conditioned media. How to rapidly measure multiple biomarkers in cell culture supernatant and lysates from the same wells of a culture dish to examine protein expression profiles from cancer and immune cell culture models using AlphaLISA assays together with ATPlite 1step and the EnVision multimode plate reader.
