Bertin Pharma bioreagent department manager Patrick Vitaux said: “It has been a real honour to be introduced to Fred and his company and we rapidly found a lot of complementarity in our business.

“The Nuclear Assay range perfectly fit with our customer’s needs, and will empower our commercial activity.”

Indigo’s Nuclear Receptor Assay kits are designed as an all-inclusive, cell-based, robust, and ready to use product which can screen small numbers of test compounds as well as high throughput screening (HTS) application.

"The Nuclear Assay range perfectly fit with our customer’s needs, and will empower our commercial activity."

The assay kits are based on fire fly luciferase reporter gene technology which facilitates optimal assay sensitivity and dynamic range when quantifying nuclear receptor activity.

After ligand-activation, the nuclear receptor complex induces expression of the luciferase reporter.

The detection reagent after being added, the intensity of light emission from the luciferase reaction directly correlates to the activation status of the nuclear receptor.
