Luminescence vs fluorescence and phosphorescence

We all think of something glowing when we hear the words luminescence, fluorescence or phosphorescence but the mechanism that stand behind these effects are somehow different. So, the question is, what sets them apart from each other?

Busting Myths about Microplate Reader Injectors

What is important if you take a closer look at microplate reader injectors? A comparison between syringe injectors and JET injectors.

What are the benefits of top reading vs bottom reading?

Microplate readers offer often the option to read fluorescence both, from the top and from the bottom but, what are the benefits of each reading mode?

How sensitive is your microplate reader?

Instrument sensitivity has been defined as the smallest amount of change that can be detected by a measurement. But, from a scientific point of view, how can we distinguish between sensitive and less sensitive microplate readers?

Minimising Crosstalk

Modern microplate readers are able to detect very low quantities of light; this has led to an increasing focus on optical crosstalk.
