Luminescence and fluorescence-based assay methods prevail in modern HTS. Although invaluable as technologies, the problem of compound-related assay interferences such as quenching, auto-fluorescence, ...

Fluorescent dyes are tools used throughout biotechnology and medicine that offer a unique method of detecting and quantifying the presence of a target molecule, cell, or tissue within an even more ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by DeNovix. What is the best way to assess viability? Trypan Blue has long been the preferred method for selectively staining dead cells and ...

The latest advances in genome sequencing indicate proteases occur naturally in all organisms and account for about 2% of the human genome and 1–5% of genomes of infectious organisms. The human genome ...

Fluorescence plate readers are typically used to evaluate fluorescence intensity and FRET. Other modes of detection, which include fluorescence polarization, luminescence, absorbance or time-resolved ...

Biotium, a leading developer of fluorescent reagents for life science research, announces the launch of the RNaseReveal™ Activity Assay Kit, with unparalleled sensitivity to detect RNase contamination ...

Researchers have built a zinc-coordinated gold-silver nanocluster fluorescent sensor that tolerates organic solvents, detects ...

Advances in medical technology have improved health in part by bringing key aspects of care, once difficult to access, into the home. Tracking symptoms and even screening for certain types of illness ...
