Introduction:
Tryptophan residues in a protein result in inherent fluorescence with UV excitation. As the protein goes from a folded (native) to denatured state, the emission spectrum will change slightly reflecting the change in folding state. (more…)
Background:
Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis is a great tool for investigational research and analytical science applications. It is used often in biochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical applications, in addition to mineralogy, fluorescent labeling, sensors and forensics applications. It is also used to aid in the identification of proteins, organic compounds, oils and dyes and is used for environmental monitoring and laser induced chlorophyll fluorescence for crop yield assessments.

Goal:
Determine the feasibility of using the Ocean Optics reflection probes to measure the fluorescence of detergent samples. (more…)
Goal:
Assess the effect of various fiber diameters on fluorescein fluorescence (more…)
Goal:
To determine the optimal system configuration and optical filters for detecting fluorescent probes (FITC and Cy5) incorporated into DNA during PCR using proprietary technology and primers (more…)
Goal:
To assess feasibility and determine the optimal system configuration for detecting Cy5 fluorescence in samples labeled for fluorescence energy transfer from fluorescein to Cy5 (more…)
