Targeted Detection of Extracellular Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide (NO), a key reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a critical dual role in cellular biology, serving both as a signaling molecule and as a contributor to oxidative stress. Accurately detecting NO levels is essential for understanding physiological and pathological processes. However, its extremely short half-life and rapid conversion to nitrate make direct measurement of NO difficult.
The ROS-Glo™ Extracellular Nitric Oxide Assay is a sensitive bioluminescent assay designed to overcome the stability limitations of NO, enabling sensitive and selective detection of extracellular nitric oxide in cell culture and biochemical samples. The assay utilizes an advanced bioluminescent probe that reacts specifically with superoxide, generating a proportionate light signal in just 60 minutes.
ROS-Glo™ Extracellular Nitric Oxide Assay Chemistry
The ROS-Glo™ Extracellular Nitric Oxide Assay uses a nitric oxide substrate that reacts directly with nitric oxide to create a stable luciferin product. The subsequent addition of the luciferin detection reagent, which contains UltraGlo™ rLuciferase and required cofactors, produces light proportional to the amount of extracellular nitric oxide in the sample. Please note that a nitric oxide reference standard is not provided in the kit.
Sample compatibility: The assay is optimized for use with cells in culture. However, the NO Substrate is unlikely to cross cell membranes, so the assay readout only reflects extracellular NO levels. Other sample types could be compatible with the assay, but will need to be tested and optimized by the user.

Nitric Oxide Detection from Macrophages
RAW264.7 cells (20,000 cells) were stimulated with 0.5μg/ml LPS and 20ng/ml IFNγ for 24 hours, inducing NO production. Some wells were also treated with 1mM l-NAME (nitro-l-arginine methyl ester) to inhibit NO production. ROS-Glo™ Extracellular Nitric Oxide Assay was utilized to detect NO in the cell supernatant following treatments.
