What is the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay System?
The Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay System is a dedicated detection reagent for NanoLuc® Luciferase, a 19.1kDa monomeric enzyme engineered from the deep-sea shrimp Oplophorus gracilirostris. The system uses the Nano-Glo Luciferase Assay® Substrate to generate bright, ATP-independent, glow-type luminescence with low background, enabling sensitive detection in cell-based assays. It is widely used in molecular biology, cell signaling, gene expression, drug screening, and protein interaction studies.

How Does the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay Work?
- Advanced reporter system. Bright NanoLuc® reporter allows more sensitive detection in challenging applications.
- Extended bright light output is optimized for batch and continuous-process handling.
- Simplified assay optimization. Add-and-read simplicity makes it easy to scale assays. No need for separate lysis and reagent injection steps.
- Low background formulation offers increased sensitivity.
What Are the Benefits of the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay?
- High sensitivity: NanoLuc® Luciferase is ~100× brighter than firefly or Renilla luciferase, with low substrate autoluminescence for superior signal-to-background
- Stable glow signal: ~120 min half-life, no injectors needed, ideal for batch processing
- Simple add-mix-read workflow: Integral lysis buffer eliminates separate lysis/injection steps; scales to 1536-well
- Wide dynamic range: Million-fold linear dynamic range

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay with secreted NanoLuc® Luciferase?
Yes. The Nano-Glo® reagent can be added directly to conditioned culture media to detect secreted NanoLuc® Luciferase without cell lysis. This makes it suitable for monitoring secretion-based reporter assays or for serial sampling of the same culture over time.
Do I need an injector-equipped luminometer to run this assay?
No. The Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay produces a stable glow-type signal with approximately 120-minute half-life, so there is no need for injectors or rapid-read instrumentation. Any standard microplate reader or luminometer capable of detecting luminescence will work, including the GloMax® Discover System.
How sensitive is the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay compared to other luciferase assays?
NanoLuc® Luciferase produces approximately 100-fold greater luminescence intensity than firefly or Renilla luciferase. Combined with the low autoluminescence of the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay Substrate, this enables detection of reporter expression at levels where traditional luciferase systems may produce insufficient signal-to-background ratios.
Can I use the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay for BRET experiments?
The Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay System is designed for standard endpoint lytic assays. For BRET and NanoBRET® applications, we offer dedicated NanoBRET® Nano-Glo® Detection Systems optimized for energy transfer measurements with live cells.
Can I use the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay for live cell experiments?
The Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay System is designed for standard endpoint lytic assays. For live-cell NanoLuc® detection without lysis, see the Nano-Glo® Live Cell Assay.
Is the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay compatible with high-throughput screening?
Yes. The single-addition, no-injector format and extended signal stability make the Nano-Glo® Assay well suited for batch-mode and continuous-process HTS workflows. The assay scales from individual tubes to 384-well and 1536-well plate formats.
