Plate reading luminometer

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in United States

The Plate-reading luminometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure luminescence from samples in a microplate format. It detects and quantifies light emitted from luminescent reactions, providing precise measurements of luminescent signals.

5 protocols using plate reading luminometer

1

Quantifying Lactate Levels in Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lactate levels in plasma samples were quantified using the Lactate-Glo™ Assay (Promega) following the manufacturer’s instructions, using 50 μl of samples (1:100) and ten two-fold serial dilutions of a lactate standard run in duplicate in 96-well plates. Luminescence was recorded using a plate-reading luminometer (Promega). Lactate quantity was obtained extrapolating sample luminescence values from the standard curve.

Transient transfections and/or the transduction of plasmids and siRNA duplexes into 832/13 cells and cell lysis for luciferase assays were previously described [36 (link)]. Briefly, transient transfection of plasmid vectors into 832/13 cells was performed using TransFectin Lipid Reagent (BioRad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were then lysed in 1× Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and luciferase activity was measured using the Promega Luciferase Assay System in a plate reading luminometer (Promega). Luciferase activity was normalized to total protein content as determined by the BCA assay.

Caspase 3/7 activity was measured by using a Caspase-Glo assay kit (Promega, G8091) following the manufacturer’s instructions. EGCs (104 cells/well) seeded in a white tissue culture-treated 96-well plates (Falcon, solid white bottom) were treated with TcdA or TcdB alone or in the presence with 10Panx (50µM) or A438079 (300µM) for 18 h. Then, the plates containing the cells were removed from the incubator for 30 min. A volume of 100 µL of Caspase-Glo reagent was added to each well, and the wells were mixed with a plate shaker at 500 rpm for 30 s. The plates were incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Then, the luminescence of each sample was acquired in a plate-reading luminometer (Promega) to obtain the relative luminescent units (RLUs) subtracted by the background.

ATP Assay for Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) assays were performed to assess cell proliferation, which correlates with cell viability in monolayer cultures of osteogenically differentiated hMSCs and chondrocytes. Cell viability was measured after 10 min, 24 h and 48 h of treatment with various concentrations (no TXA, 10 mg/mL, 20 mg/mL and 50 mg/mL) of TXA using the CellTiter-Glo® luminescent cell viability assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), as previously described [22 (link)].
After TXA-treatment, hMSCs and chondrocytes that were used for biochemical investigations were trypsinated and seeded in new 96-well-plates (Greiner Bio-One GmbH) at a density of 3 x 103 cells per cm2.
ATP assays were performed after 10 min, 24 h and 48 h. According to the user’s guide, the cells were mixed with 100 μL of CellTiter-Glo® (Promega GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) reagent, a composition of CellTiter-Glo® substrate with CellTiter-Glo® buffer. Cells were incubated in this reagent for 10 min before luminescence was measured using a plate-reading luminometer (Promega GmbH).

PgP-Glo Assay for ATPase Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Reagents were prepared according to manufacturer’s protocol. Then, 20 μl of PgP-Glo assay buffer was added to wells labeled “no treatment” (NT). Twenty microliters of 0.25 mM Na3VO4 dissolved in PgP-Glo assay buffer was added to the wells labeled Na3VO4 on the 96-well plate. Next, 20 μl of 0.5 mM Verapamil in PgP-Glo assay buffer was added to the wells labeled “Ver” and 20 μl of 2.5 X concentrated test compounds was added to the experimental test compound wells. Then, 20 μl of diluted PgP membranes was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 5 min while floating in a 37°C water bath. Reactions were initiated by adding 10 μl of 25 mM Mg ATP to all wells, and mixing briefly by gentle tapping before placing in the 37°C incubator for 40 min. Fifty microliters of ATP detection reagent was added to each well after removing the plate from the heat source. The plate was mixed briefly and incubated at RT for 20 min to allow luminescent signal to develop. Luminescence was read on a plate-reading luminometer (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
