NanoLuc was first commercialized in May 2012 with 12 plasmid constructs and the Nano-Glo™ Reagent for reporter applications. NanoLuc is an enabling platform technology upon which Promega is developing additional assay solutions for difficult biology. The technology has already demonstrated its value to viral delivery and protein fusion applications. The versatility of NanoLuc is being further pursued by the Advanced Technologies Group and Research & Development teams at Promega.
In addition to in-house development, Promega is collaborating with complementary next-gen assay technologies to better serve basic and pharmaceutical research. Key collaborations using NanoLuc include coupling with 3D cell culture models (InSphero) and combining with genetically-defined reporter cell lines generated using the proprietary GENESIS™ gene editing technology (Horizon Discovery Ltd).
