Q:

Do I need to shake the plate after adding the Cell Lysis Reagent during the ViaLightâ„¢ Assay?

A:

No, this is not recommended.

Shaking the plate during this step can

- cause frothing which will deflect the light signal away from the detection unit,

- reducing the number of RLUs observed

- and producing an artificially low result.
