Cat No. [CHHL, CHCL & CHBL]

Introduction

Lightgen™ is a substrate kit for detecting the activity of Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) in Western Blotting Analysis, Northern or Southern hybridization, and non-radioactive EMSA. Lightgen™ emits visible light when it react with HRP. The light can be detected by X-ray films and CCD imager system.

Among these substrates, Lightgen™ HL has extremely-high sensitivity and is capable of detecting femtogram quantities of nucleic acids or proteins. Lightgen™ CL is formulated to optimize the capture of images with x-ray films. Lightgen™ BL is formulated to have extremely low background staining when it is used in Western blot analysis.

 

Application

Lightgen can be used for Nitrocellulose, PVDF and Nylon membranes. Lightgen has higher sensitivity (femtogram level) than most of its counterparts such as ECL, LumiGLO®, Renaissance®, and Western Lightning™.

For example, if the original dilution of HRP-labeled probe is 1:1000, when using Lightgen™, it is necessary to dilute it to 1:5000 or higher.

 

 

 

Lightgen™ has very high sensitivity and its signals are long lasting. Also, it is easy to use and easy to store. If storing substrates A and B separately in their own tinted bottles at room temperature, they can be stored for at least 3 weeks. If the bottles are stored at 4°C or lower, they can last for 12 months or more. If mixed (during experiment or just before experiment), the effectiveness of the reagent can last up to 72 hours.

 

Comparison of other chemilumiescence brand vs. Viagene (VBI) Lightgen HL. The images were captured by Cool Imager with 3000-frame-intergration. Images shown here are at 0 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes.
