Competitive pressure is forcing organizations to continually increase screening throughput. Yet accuracy and sensitivity remain vital concerns, particularly for common screens such as luminescence cell-based assays. LEADseeker™ Multimodality Imaging System was developed to meet these demands by combining excellent detection with the ability to image whole plates in less than one minute.
This application note describes the use of luminescence emissions filters, which were defined and characterized using the BRET2™ Demonstration Assay Kit. The data demonstrate that BRET2 cell-based assays perform well in conjunction with the chemiluminescent readout of LEADseeker Multimodality Imaging System. Together, the filters, demonstration kit, and assay system support organizations looking to add high and ultra-high throughput luminescence cell based assays to their screening programs.
