Product Overview
The ToxiLight® 100% Lysis Reagent set is intended for use with the ToxiLight® Non-destructive Cytotoxicity Assay (sold seperately) and is designed to give the user a 100% lysis or total adenylate kinase control. It contains the 100% Lysis Reagent, 10 ml and Tris-Acetate Buffer, 50 ml (required volume correction for sample wells), and is suitable for 200 tests in a 96 well format.
Simply add the 100% Lysis Reagent to the control wells at a ratio of 1:2 (lysis reagent : sample volume), volume correct the remaining sample wells with Tris-Acetate Buffer and then incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
The ToxiLight® 100% Lysis Reagent should be included as a control at each time point within your cytotoxicity assay. After addition proceed with the standard ToxiLight® Assay protocol.

Benefits
- Highly sensitive - The ToxiLight® BioAssay Kit exploits the cyclic nature of the AK reaction whereby a small amount of the AK enzyme can generate high concentrations of ATP. This enables the detection of very subtle changes in cytotoxicity and reduces false negatives.
- Non-destructive - ToxiLight® assay detects cellular AK present in cell culture supernatants, eliminating the need to lyse cells to perform the assay, and allowing multiple tests to be performed on the same sample.
- Simple - Assay requires the simple addition of a single reagent, which can be added directly to wells in which cells are growing, or to a small sample of aspirated culture supernatant.
- Fast - Readable signal is detectable 5 minutes after the addition of the ToxiLight® BioAssay reagent.
- Flexible - Cell supernatants can be frozen with no loss of AK activity, allowing for long-term kinetic studies.
- Safe - No hazardous chemicals are required.
