In Gaussia Luciferase assay, the signal from coelenterazine decays really fast. In NEB's BioLux kit, there is a stabilizer to solve this issue. What is this stabilizer?
I quote this from my published paper. "Twenty-microliter portions of the supernatant on the cocultured cells were assayed in duplicate for Gluc with 50 μl of 10 μM coelenterazine in 0.1 M Tris (pH 7.4) and 0.3 M sodium ascorbate". Please refer to PMID: 24049172 if you want further details
