Press Releases New ERRa Reporter Assays from INDIGO Biosciences

New ERRa Reporter Assays from INDIGO Biosciences

November 7, 2013 – The Nuclear Receptor Experts™ are expanding the line of INDIGO Nuclear Receptor Reporter Assays. Human Estrogen-Related Receptor Alpha (ERRa) is available in INDIGO’s Contract Screening Lab or can be purchased as INDIGO Nuclear Receptor Reporter Assay Kits. The principle application of this assay system is in the screening of test samples to quantify inverse-agonist activities that they may exert against human ERRa.

INDIGO ERRa Reporter Assay Kits are available in 96-well, 3×32 well, or 384-well formats. With proprietary human cells engineered to provide high-level expression of ERRa, and the incorporation of a responsive luciferase reporter gene into Reporter Cells, INDIGO’s Human ERRa Assay kits will quantify expressed luciferase activity at the assay endpoint, providing a sensitive surrogate measure of changes in ERRa activity in treated cells.

The single-use reagent Reporter Cells are prepared using INDIGO’s proprietary CryoMite™ process. This cryopreservation method yields high cell viability post-thaw, and provides the convenience of immediately dispensing healthy, division-competent reporter cells into assay wells. There is no need for intermediate spin-and-wash steps, viability determinations, celltiter adjustments, or pre-incubation of reporter cells prior to assay setup.

INDIGO’s cell-based Assay Systems are ready to use when the researcher is ready to test. They go from freezer to data in 24 hours, with minimal hands-on time. INDIGO offer customers a simple, four-step process: Thaw, Feed, Dose, Read. It’s that simple! Say goodbye to those cumbersome post-thaw steps of spinning down, adjusting titer, or conducting cell counts— and there are NO wash steps!

Researchers interested in a variety of disease states, including osteoporosis and dyslipidemia, now have access to the power of INDIGO for their ERRa research. Our scientists are available to discuss your next study. Contact us today for pricing and availability.
