Molting is an essential developmental process in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans.</i> However, the study of molting in the worm has been limited by the lack of automated techniques that allow monitoring the process in a simple way. In 2015, Olmedo <i>et al</i>. published an automated method to monitor the timing of each larval stage and molt in <i>C. elegans</i> using bioluminescence. This new method has greatly contributed to the study of molting in this organism but requires the use of a high-sensitivity luminometer, which many laboratories do not have. We have adapted the method to a conventional luminometer, so that it can be used by most laboratories that work with <i>C. elegans</i> and do not have high-sensitivity equipment.&#
x2022;A customization of a method to study molting in <i>C. elegans</i> using a conventional luminometer instead of a high-sensitivity one.&#
x2022;This adaptation allows most laboratories to use their routine luminometers to study molting in <i>C. elegans</i>.&#
x2022;Although the use of a high-sensitivity luminometer, as proposed by Olmedo <i>et al</i>., remains the gold standard for studying molting, this adaptation is suitable for studying significant differences in molting and the duration of larval stages between different strains of <i>C. elegans</i>.
