The GSH-Glo Assay is a luminescent-based assay for the detection and quantification of glutathione (GSH) in cells or in various biological samples.


  • A Luminescent-Based Assay for the Detection and Quantification of Glutathione (GSH)
  • Measure reduced and/or total glutathione levels in cells and tissues
  • Measure GSH levels directly from cell culture wells
  • Excellent sensitivity and easily scalable


The GSH-Glo Assay is a luminescent-based assay for the detection and quantification of glutathione (GSH) in cells or in various biological samples. A change in GSH levels is important in assessment of toxicological responses and is an indicator of oxidative stress, potentially leading to apoptosis or cell death. The assay is based on the conversion of a luciferin derivative into luciferin in the presence of GSH. The reaction is catalyzed by a glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme supplied in the kit. The luciferin formed is detected in a coupled reaction using Ultra-Glo Recombinant Luciferase that generates a glow type luminescence that is proportional to the amount of glutathione present in cells. The assay provides a simple, fast and sensitive alternative to colorimetric and fluorescent methods and can be adapted easily to high-throughput applications.


The assay is easily adapted to higher throughput applications and provides test results within 30 minutes. The luminescent method provides excellent signal-to-background ratios. Store at –20°C (–4°F) in an unlit area.


The simple two-reagent-addition assay eliminates conventional, multi-step procedures such as deproteination.
