D-Luciferin

D-Luciferin with CAS 2591-17-5 is a natural bioluminescent substrate extracted from fireflies, belonging to sulfur-containing heterocyclic organic compound. This chiral luminescent reagent can produce visible bioluminescence under the catalytic reaction of luciferase and ATP, featuring high luminous efficiency, low background signal and good biological compatibility. D-Luciferin (CAS 2591-17-5) is supplied as yellow to pale yellow crystalline powder for commercial laboratory and biotech industrial use, and it is the core raw material for all firefly bioluminescence detection experiments. Strict low-temperature freezing storage is required to prevent luminescent activity attenuation and molecular degradation.

1. In Vivo Animal Bioluminescence Imaging: D-Luciferin (CAS 2591-17-5) serves as the core imaging substrate for small animal in vivo optical imaging. It reacts with luciferase expressed in transgenic animals to generate stable bioluminescence, supporting real-time monitoring of tumor growth, gene expression and drug metabolism in living experimental animals. 2. Reporter Gene Detection Assay: This luminescent reagent D-Luciferin with CAS 2591-17-5 is widely used for luciferase reporter gene analysis in cell biology experiments. It achieves high-sensitivity quantitative detection of intracellular gene transcription and expression levels with ultra-low detection background. 3. ATP Detection and Cell Viability Analysis: D-Luciferin (CAS 2591-17-5) matches ATP-dependent luminescence reaction system to detect intracellular ATP content accurately. It is commonly applied for cell viability screening, cytotoxicity test and microbial activity quantitative analysis in pharmaceutical screening laboratories. 4. High-throughput Drug Screening: Biopharmaceutical research institutions adopt D-Luciferin CAS 2591-17-5 for high-throughput screening of anti-tumor drugs and targeted small molecule compounds. Its stable luminous signal ensures reliable and repeatable experimental data during large-scale automated screening processes.
