Is there a way to measure firefly and renilla luciferase luminescence in organoids grown in matrigel?

07 February 2024 0 6K Report

Hi,

I am interested in performing a reporter assay in organoids grown in matrigel. Is there a commercially available kit that would allow me to read both firefly and renilla luciferase luminescence directly from organoids embedded in matrigel? I'm concerned about efficient cell lysis etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Martyna
