LF 500 NanoScan

Fluorescence labels have well-known properties such as absorption and emission maximum, extinction and quantum yield. They also display another characteristic feature:

fluorescence lifetime

This molecule-specific constant is particularly useful for robust homogeneous assay platforms.  The examples below list some of the important properties of a few selected fluorophores.

Application Examples

• molecular binding assays
• protein-protein interaction
• enzyme activity
• enzyme kinetics
• rezeptor-ligand binding
• DNA hybridisation
• calcium determination
• cell-based assays
