Materials & Analytics Applications
Evaluation of FRET as a Sensitive Biosensor for Explosives
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a mechanism governing the energy transfer between two neighboring molecules.
Absolute Quantum Yields Using an Integrating Sphere
Different molecular and environmental conditions not only effect whether a molecule will fluoresce or not, but can also determine the intensity of the emitted fluorescence radiation.
Internal Quantum Efficiency Measurement of Phosphor Powders
Some white LEDs consist of two types of materials: a luminescent diode that emits a blue light in the near-UV region, and a phosphor that emits visible light from the absorption to the near-UV region.
Remote Fluorescent Measurement using FP-8500 Fluorometer with Optical Fiber
A fluorometer with optical fiber can be used for a variety of measurements, such as when the sample is larger than the sample chamber, to follow an in-situ reaction, or for measurement in hazardous environments, such as high/low temperature and high pressure.
Quantum Yield Measurement of the Up-Conversion Phosphors
Quantum yield is very useful in determining the efficiency of multi-step up-conversion excitation process that results in fluorescence at shorter wavelengths than the excitation light. Molecules can be excited at longer wavelengths where light scattering and absorption do not occur.
Life Sciences Applications
Determination of the Relative Quantum Yield of Rhodamine-B
Different molecular and environmental conditions not only effect whether a molecule will fluoresce or not, but can also determine the intensity of the emitted fluorescence radiation.
Micro-volume Analysis of a λ DNA Using a One Drop Accessory
For many biological samples, it is much more convenient, cost effective, and efficient to use microvolumes for structural and quantitative studies.
Near-Infrared Phosphor Measurement
Near-infrared fluorescence labels are currently attracting the attention of the scientific community due to their wide range of biological applications.
Measurement of Trypsin Activity Using a Fluorescence Peptide Substrate
In biology, proteolytic reactions occur to regulate enzyme and protein activity for metabolic to signal processing functions. Proteases are responsible for breaking down biological molecules into smaller polypeptide chains through hydrolysis.
Food & Beverages Application
High-Speed Excitation Emission Matrix Measurement of Olive Oil
Excitation-Emission Matrix (EEM) is used with fluorescence spectroscopy for identification and characterization in mixture analysis. Recently, EEM has started to become an accepted method for determining the type, quality, and geographical origin of food products.
Environmental Application
Component Analysis of an Excitation-Emission Matrix of Environmental Water Samples Using PARAFAC Analysis
Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) is a type of multivariable analysis, which can be used to extract the components from mixed 3D fluorescence data. JASCO has developed an advanced solution using PARAFAC, which can help to interpret the complicated data found in the EEM.
