Luciferin is the substrate for luciferase and is used in highly sensitive bioluminescence assays for the detection of ATP; the generation of light is directly proportional to the concentration of ATP. Also used in detection of the luciferase marker gene. Solubility: Methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF. Slightly soluble in water. UV Absorpbance E385±0.2nm (0.5M Na2CO3, pH 11.5): 17,500 Specific Gravity (H20 = 1.0): 1.425 Water Content (KF): 9% Impurities: 0.10% Melting Point: >200°C (>391°F) Boiling Point: >300°C (>571°F) Storage and Stability: Store lyophilized powder at -20°C, dessicated and protected from light . Reconstitute with ddH2O and bring solution to a pH of 6.0-6.3. Reconstituted product can be stored protected from light at °4C for up to 2 weeks. or at -20°C for several months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: At a pH greater than 6.3, D-Luciferin may undergo a slow racemization from the D- to the L- isomer. CAS Number: 115144-35-9 Molecular Formula: C11H7N2O3S2K Molecular Weight: 318.4 |
