Developed in France by researchers from prestigious institutes (Institut Pasteur and CNRS) Hikarazine represents a patented class of bioluminescent pro-substrates (commonly referred to as pro-luciferins), specifically designed for use with luciferase enzymes derived from Oplophorus gracilirostris. In France, Synthelis partners with Berthold Technologies for instrumental bioanalysis.
Hikarazine™ Z108
✓ Blue light emission
✓ 3 -15x brighter than luciferin depending on luciferase and buffer
✓ T1/2 = 1 hour
✓ Stability : 2 years at room temperature
Hikarazine™ Z103
✓ Blue light emission
✓ Less bright than Z108, but very stable emission over time (T1/2 = 3 hours)
✓ Stability : 2 years at room temperature
