luciferase as in vitro translation control

[Hinayana Bawagan]

    I have ordered the rabbit reticulocyte system from Promega which provides
luciferase as the positive control.  I am wondering which of the assays -
standard one using luminometer or scintillation counter; or the photographic
assay - is more convenient.  I have not done any in vitro translation before
so I will appreciate any comments and suggestions.  Thank you very much.
