Service Details
- Fluorometry Analysis refers to the measurement and study of fluorescence emitted by a sample when it absorbs light or electromagnetic radiation. This technique is widely used in biology, chemistry, and environmental sciences to identify and quantify substances, often with high sensitivity.
1. Fluorescence: A phenomenon where a substance absorbs light (usually UV or visible) at one wavelength and emits light at a longer wavelength.
2. Excitation and Emission:
Excitation wavelength: The wavelength of light used to excite the sample.
Emission wavelength: The wavelength of light emitted by the sample.
3. Fluorophores: Molecules that fluoresce upon excitation. Examples include:
Organic dyes (e.g., fluorescein, rhodamine)
Proteins (e.g., GFP – Green Fluorescent Protein)
Quantum dots and other nanoparticles.
Steps in Fluorometry Analysis
1. Sample Preparation: Ensure the sample is optically clear and free of contaminants that could interfere with fluorescence.
2. Excitation: Illuminate the sample with a specific wavelength of light to excite the fluorophores.
