Fluorescence Assay Flashcards
What is the basic principle of Fluorescence?
it its luminescence emiision of light from a substance
Where does emission takes place
at the excited state of the measured substance
Which is molecule can be used in fluorescence?
fluorescence (aromatic molecules)
what does the singlet state?
it is the lowest electronic energy level (stable configuration)
Does the singlet state showes flurophore?
NO, because of no excitation
What happend when light hit the molecule?
the Fluorophore absorbs the energy from the light, resulting in the excitation of the molecule to a higher energy level
Draw the jablonski-diagram
the exciation of the molecule
On what does the excitation level depends?
on the wavelength and the energy from the light source
what happend with the electrone at the higher energy level
it is in a unstable state, which leads to relaxation to a lowest energy level (s1)
What happend during the relaxation process?
it results in loss of energy
what is the excited lifetime?
it is the time at which the intercal concersion occur
what happend from s1-so state?
energy is being release and emitted as light
What is the emitted light
it is the fluorescence emission
compared the energy of both absorbt and emitted light
the emitted light is of lower energy than the absorb light
how is the energy level related to the wavlength?
lower energy, longer wavelenth
higher energy, shoter wavalength
