Description
Beyotime’s Kinase-Lumi™ Plus Luminescent Kinase Assay Kit provides a chemiluminescent method for measuring kinase activity by quantifying the amount of ATP remaining in the solution after the kinase reaction. This kit can also be used to detect other enzymes that consume ATP, such as ATPase.
This kit can detect ATP up to 50μM with good linearity in the range of 0-50μM. For lower concentrations of ATP, we recommend using Beyotime’s Kinase-Lumi™ Luminescent Kinase Assay Kit with the maximum detection limit of 10μM. For higher concentrations of ATP, we recommend using Beyotime’s Kinase-Lumi™ Max Luminescent Kinase Assay Kit with the maximum detection limit of 200μM or diluting the sample appropriately before the assay.
This kit is suitable for a wide range of ATP-consuming kinases, including protein kinases with protein or peptide as substrate and non-protein kinases with sugar, lipid and alcohol as substrate. This kit is also suitable for the detection of ATP-consuming ATPases.
Please refer to Figure 1 for the reaction principle of this product. The Kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to the hydroxyl group of substrate, leading to a decreased ATP content in the kinase reaction. ATP remaining in the kinase reaction can be quantified by the chemiluminescent method catalyzed by luciferase in the presence of luciferin. The luminescent signal generated in the reaction is correlated with the amount of remaining ATP, while inversely correlated with the amount of kinase activity.

The kit is easy to use. The assay can be completed in one well by simply adding an equal volume of assay reagent into the sample, making it an ideal choice for both small-scale analysis and automated high-throughput screening.
The luminescent signal produced by the assay using this kit is very stable due to the use of a thermo-stable firefly luciferase and the optimized reaction conditions. The luminescence can be produced within 10 minutes after the addition of the assay reagent, and the luminescent signal is stable with no more than 10% decrease within 30 minutes.
For 96-well plates, we recommend using 50μl of kinase reaction and 50μl of assay reagent, by which S0155S are sufficient for 200 assays, respectively. In 384-well plates with10μl of kinase reaction and 10μl of assay reagent, S0155S are sufficient for 1000 assays, respectively. Other volumes can also be used, but the ratio of kinase reaction to assay reagent must be 1:1.
| Item | Component | Quantity |
| S0155S-1 | Kinase-Lumi™ Plus Luminescent Kinase Activity Assay Reagent | 10ml |
| S0155S-2 | 0.5mM ATP | 0.2ml |

Store at -20℃ for up to 6 months or -80℃ for up to 1 year. The Assay Reagent should be protected from light.
The Assay Reagent contains luciferase and should be avoided from repeated freeze-thaws. It is better to aliquot the Assay Reagent at the first use. The Assay Reagent can tolerate repeated freeze-thaws up to 3 cycles. Small amount of precipitates in the Assay Reagent if there are any should be dissolved at room temperature before use, or removed by centrifugation before use if the precipitates could not be dissolved completely.
The kinase or ATPase reaction should be performed at room temperature (approximately 25℃) and the sample needs to be equilibrated to room temperature prior to use.
The ATP provided in the kit is only sufficient for preparing the standard curve. ATP required for kinase reactions should be ordered separately by investigatiors.
Opaque 96-well plates or 384-well plates should be used for the assay.
This product is for R&D only. Not for drug, household, or other uses.
For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves during the operation.
