Does anyone here work with the luciferase detection system? I'm looking for a research center in Mexico that has a luminometer. ?

30 August 2023 0 8K Report

I will be working with some constructions to detect relative luciferase activity but I need to know if anyone has worked on this, specifically with the type of detection kit and equipment available at a research center in Mexico.
