fluorescence assays

Fluorescence assays are laboratory techniques used to detect and quantify substances by measuring the light they emit after being excited with a specific wavelength of light. When certain molecules, known as fluorophores, absorb light, they emit light of a longer wavelength, which can be detected and measured. This method is widely used in biology and chemistry to study proteins, DNA, and other biomolecules, helping researchers understand biological processes, diagnose diseases, and develop new drugs. The sensitivity and specificity of fluorescence assays make them powerful tools for scientific research and medical applications.
