A highly sensitive ATP-luminescence assay using VICTOR2 with the dispenser option

In high sensitivity flash type luminescence assays the measurement is done just after dispensing the activating reagent or after a short delay time. Over the past years luminescence substrates have been improved towards providing more stable signal. These so-called glow type substrates allow microplates to be counted without dispensors. Ho...

Counting Non-Aqueous Samples in the TopCount Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counter

The microplate format has become a standard for many biological assays such as high throughput screening for drug discovery and radioimmunoassays. Productivity with these high volume procedures has been limited by the amount of sample handling required and low sample counting throughput. Now, however, microplate assays can be efficiently count...

Photoluminescence Spectroscopy of Quantum Dots, monitored by the Spex FluoroMax

The optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) have potential applications in optoelectronics, biosensing and biolabeling, memory devices, and sources of laser light. For example, alloyed CdSeTe QDs are shown herein to possess a nonlinear change in their photoluminescence spectra, correlated to size and composition, as monitor...

Time gated separation of lanthanide luminescence

The distinctive luminescence of lanthanide ions has long been a challenge for the spectroscopist. Methods to counter the extremely low absorption coefficients and luminescence quantum yields have concentrated on Protective ligands to reduce vibrational quenching effects by XH moieties (X = O, N,)....

Alien expert illuminates audience on extraterrestrial possibilities

MADISON - Some of extraterrestrial expert s beliefs may leave people bewildered. Speaking to an audience of 300 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Feb. 19, Drake, director of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute in Mountain View, Calif., explained the reasons why he believes in...

Stem Cells Illuminate Early Stages of Human Development

MADISON - When introduced to the world in 1998, human embryonic stem cells were considered heralds of a new age of transplant medicine. The prospect of an unlimited supply of cells and tissue of all kinds to treat disease captured public imagination and enthusiasm. But lost in the glitz of the cells' potential to treat an array of devastating and sometimes fatal diseases was another qual...
