Time-Resolved Spectroscopy for Bioanalytical Applications

Time-Resolved Spectroscopy for Bioanalytical Applications: Advanced Time-Domain Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Microscopy (FLIM, FRET, FCS & SMD)

Thursday, August 30, 2007


Joint workshop between PicoQuant GmbH and the Center for Commercialization of Fluorescence Technologies at the University of North Texas Health Science Center

Image Time-Resolved Spectroscopy for Bioanalytical Applications 2007

Summary

The workshop was dedicated to interested students and scientists from Life Sciences having a certain background in fluorescence and confocal microscopy and looking to extend their knowledge to the benefits of time-resolved methods. In the afternoon we provided the opportunity to see state-of-the-art instruments working and gave a detailed explanation of key features by highly recognized instructors.

CCFT Workshop 2007

Product demos

Product demos that where offered included:

  • MicroTime 200: time-resolved confocal microscope with single molecule sensitivity
  • FluoTime 200: modular fluorescence lifetime spectrometer
  • SPCE-Setup: Surface Plasmons Assisted Microscopy (SPAM) combines time-resolved microscopy with nanotechnologies, utilizing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation and surface plasmons-coupled emission (SPCE).
