Environmental Monitoring Bioassay Kits
INDIGO’s Bioassays for Environmental Sample Monitoring were specifically developed for use in environmental testing applications such as screening for endocrine disruptors and other contaminants of emerging concern. The data provided by the assays allow users to assess a sample’s bioactivity relative to a standard reference compound and compare it to an established concentration of concern.
Environmental Monitoring Bioassay Kits
INDIGO’s new environmental assays share a standardized workflow, so scientists can move easily from one assay to another when evaluating an environmental sample’s effects on multiple receptors. This can help reduce the time and cost associated with obtaining bioactivity data for environmental samples and for new chemicals in development.

Environmental Monitoring Bioassay Kit Features
INDIGO's Bioassays for Environmental Sample Monitoring provide the convenience of an all-inclusive cell-based assay system. In addition to Reporter Cells, provided are two optimized media for use in recovering the cryopreserved cells and for diluting test samples, Luciferase Detection Reagents, and a cell culture-ready assay plate and a detailed protocol.
Reporter Cells are transiently transfected and prepared as frozen stocks using INDIGO's proprietary CryoMite™ process. This proprietary cryopreservation process, enables long-term preservation of our unique reporter cells, so we can ship our cryopreserved reporter cells and assay reagents to you via overnight delivery, for your immediate use. Or, you can store the assay kits at -80°C. Once thawed, reporter cells are ready for immediate use so there is no need to take time on intermediate spin-and-wash steps, viability determinations, or cell titer adjustments.
INDIGO’s Bioassays for Environmental Sample Monitoring feature a luciferase detection reagent specially formulated to provide stable light emission between 5 and 90+ minutes after initiating the luciferase reaction. Incorporating a 5-minute reaction-rest period ensures that light emission profiles attain maximal stability, thereby allowing assay plates to be processed in batch. By doing so, the signal output from all sample wells, from one plate to the next, may be directly compared within an experimental set.
Bulk assay reagents can be custom manufactured to accommodate any scale of HTS. Please inquire.
