What Makes a Good Conjugate…Great

Author: Columbia Biosciences   Background: Over the course of their careers, most researchers in the life sciences or associated fields will perform an experiment or assay that uses a conjugate. These include fluorescent conjugates in flow cytometry (FCS) or...
FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching)

FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching)

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is a technique for characterizing the mobility of cellular molecules   Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), also known as fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching, is a microscopy-based technique...
Functional Probes for Live-Cell Imaging

Functional Probes for Live-Cell Imaging

Cellular function encompasses the basic processes a cell must undertake to do it’s assigned job. That could include protein production, enzymatic degradation, proliferation, apoptosis, cell signaling, mitochondrial respiration, buffering reactive oxygen species, etc,...
Multiparameter Fluorescence Imaging

Multiparameter Fluorescence Imaging

Multiparameter fluorescence imaging offers many advantages for scientific research. Not only does it use significantly less sample than generating a series of single-analyte images, but it also saves time and can provide a more complete picture of the system in...
