Accurate and Precise GFP Quantification with DeNovix Fluorometer

DeNovix
31 Oct 2017

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is widely used in molecular and cell biology as a reporter gene for expression of proteins. GFP is an intrinsically fluorescent protein that is easily detected using a fluorometer or fluorescence microscope. This application note details a method of quantifying the GFP fluorophore using the DeNovix QFX Fluorometer.

Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.
