An interdisciplinary team of University of Tennessee, Knoxville researchers recently published in Biophysical Journal on their development of a new statistical method that improves analysis in ...

Fluorescent proteins (FP) are frequently used for studying proteins inside cells. In advanced fluorescence microscopy, FPs can report on additional intracellular variables. One variable is the local ...

How can the component elements of an unknown material, such as a meteorite, be determined? X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used to identify an abundance of elements, by irradiating samples with ...

Life is aglow — literally. Scientists harness a phenomenon known as fluorescence to reveal the cellular secrets underlying health and disease otherwise destined to remain hidden from view. Imagine a ...

A closer look at the sample quality and unexpected green fluorescence under UV light, along with plans for a future ...

Fluorescence analysis is a fast and sensitive method, and has great potential application in trace detection of environmental toxins. However, many important environmental toxins are non-fluorescent ...

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing scientists to understand a material or compound’s elemental composition. It also provides key information on any ...

What is Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)? Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a powerful analytical technique that enables the study of dynamic processes and interactions at the ...

Flow cytometry detects and measures the chemical and physical properties and characteristics of particles or cells within a population. Samples are suspended in a liquid, held in a tube, and counted ...
