Introduction D- & L-Luciferin, - Na salt, - K salt

Published procedures for the synthesis of D-Luciferin are complicated, involve several steps and result in formation of side-products which are strong inhibitors of firefly luciferase. The RESEM D-Luciferin is synthesized by a new route including a novel purification method whereby side-products are efficiently removed.

The entire synthetic procedure is well suited for large scale production, which makes it possible to offer this product at very competitive prices. The end-product is vacuum-dried and stored under argon to ensure maximum stability. The product is available in amounts of 100, 500 and 1000 mg. Other quantities can be arranged provided a longer delivery time is accepted.
