A substrate for Renilla luciferases (Rluc) but not Gaussia luciferase. It is used for real-time detection of calcium ions, gene reporter assays and a favored substrate for BRET. This derivative has an emission maximum around 400 nm and therefore minimal interference with the emission of the GFP acceptor.
Coelenterazine 400a is also know under the Perkin Elmer trademark DeepBlueC™.
We recommend using specifically developed CAT#397 NanoFuel-400a Solvent for dissolving and stabilizing Coelenterazine 400a for a high concentration of up to 2.5 mg/ml.
Regular NanoFuel Solvent Cat#399 will only be able to dissolve CTZ400a up to a 1 mg/ml concentration.
