Customer Success: DsRed Expression in Corn Seeds Detected with LUYOR-3415RG

We are proud to share that one of our customers has successfully used the LUYOR-3415RG Dual Fluorescent Protein Excitation Lamp to detect the DsRed expression in corn seeds.

Visualizing DsRed with LUYOR-3415RG

DsRed is a red fluorescent protein originally isolated from Discosoma coral. Unlike the widely used green fluorescent protein (GFP), DsRed emits fluorescence in the red region of the spectrum, making it highly useful for multicolor imaging, protein localization, and transgenic screening.

In a research conducted by one of our customers, DsRed was introduced into corn seeds. The red fluorescence signal was observed directly under the LUYOR-3415RG Dual Fluorescent Protein Excitation Lamp, allowing rapid and non-destructive identification of DsRed-positive seeds. In addition, this customer successfully took clear photos with a LUV-590A camera filter (photo below).

LUYOR Fluorescent Protein Excitation Lamps

Fluorescent proteins are widely used in transgenic research. To facilitate quick and economical detection of fluorescent proteins, LUYOR has launched a full range of excitation light sources, from portable flashlights and fluorescence viewing cabinets to stereomicroscope fluorescence adapters.

We are happy to see that our customers have successfully visualized fluorescence with our fluorescent protein excitation lamps, and we are committed to providing innovative, reliable, and user-friendly light sources and optical tools for life science research.
