multi-well plate compatible model
appeared in Kronos series which measures changes in gene expression over time with bioluminescence of luciferase while culturing cells.

High throughput real-time luciferase assay system Kronos HT
High throuput assay system for real-time gene expression
monitoring of living cells
WSL-1565 Kronos HT is the high throughput support model of the assay
system that measure the gene expression of living cells in real-time with the bioluminescence of luciferase. Kronos Dio, which is a precedent model compatible with 35 mm dish, has been used as a real-time luminescence measurement system with cell culturing function, but this time a new lineup of model compatible with multiwell plate measurement is added.
With this new product Kronos HT, we succeeded the know-how cultivated in the precedent model
in order to measure the luminescence while culturing the cells, and further strengthened functions
and performance for high throughput measurement. Please consider adopting Kronos HT for
high-throughput measurement in biological clock analysis, change in drug response with time,
cytotoxicity test etc.

and controlling CO2 concentration
• 24 and 96 well plate format
• Scan 2 plates with 2 detectors (PMTs)
• It does not shake or vibrate cells by scanning with
detector moving and cuture plates not moving.

Reporter assay in real time with culturing cells
Reporter assay is used to measure the transcriptional activity of gene transcription
regulatory sequences such as promoters, for researches on drug response and gene
expression control, evaluation of gene transfer effi ciency, and so on. Among them,
the method of measuring the amount of bioluminescence using bioluminescent
enzyme luciferase using a device called a luminometer is superior in terms of high
sensitivity and low background and is widely used.
Usually, transcription activity at a certain point (end point) is measured, but the
assay is also becoming used for tracking transcription activity over time such as
stimulation response, time course of transgene expression level, periodic variation
of biological clock gene. Kronos HT is a system to optimize for such assays with the
ability to monitor the bioluminescence over time as cells are cultured.
Time course of drug response
Long-term kinetics of activity inhibition
Monitoring of biological clock
• High sensitive and low noise detection by cooling of
detectors (PMTs)
• Compatible with multicolor luciferase assay
• Easy setting with software on Windows PC, and
displaying and saving measurement data in real time.

Multicolor assay
It can be applied to multicolor

The sample stage is a CO2

constant temperature, humidifi cation and
CO2

24/96 well plate compatible with adapter exchange
Although it is compatible with 24 well plates in the standard model,
it is also able to use 96 well plates by simply replacing it with an
adapter of an optional item.
High sensitive detection
Weak light can be detected by cooling
the detector (photomultiplier tube, PMT)
to 10°C to suppress thermal noise.
Effi cient measurement of multiple samples
Since two plates are scanned simultaneously by two
detectors, more samples can be measured at shorter
intervals.
Cell-friendly scanning mechanism
Since it has a mechanism to move the detectors
without moving the sample stage, the cultured
cells are not shaken or vibrated.

Software
Setting measurement conditions
You can set it by simple operation. Setting
operation can be omitted by using the function
to save and load the setting condition as a fi le.
Display measurement data in real time
Since the data under measurement is displayed
in real time, you can check how the measured
value changes over time. Measurement data
is automatically saved and the data fi le can be
taken out even during measurement.
Data processing
It has a smoothing function to remove
noise component from data and smooth
it, a multicolor calculation function to
calculate each color emission value
from measurement value of each fi lter,
and a detrending function to extract
rhythm variation of biological clock.
Data export
Since data can be exported as a CSV format
fi le, it can be managed and edited with
spreadsheet software such as Microsoft
Excel or other analysis software. Also, you
can export the graph list of each data as an
image fi le.
