Genetic Reporters & Transfection
Next Generation Reporter Assay Technologies–Today!
Genetic reporters can be used to study a wide range of biological areas, from gene expression and control to cell signaling and drug discovery. The use of luciferase as a reporter provides a system that is extremely sensitive, while also very easy to use.
