Fluorescence Microplate Assays
Combining the sensitivity of a fluorescence-based assay with a microplate format enables a rapid, quantitative readout suitable for high-throughput analysis. In a microplate well, the fluorescent signal can be generated within whole cells, in cell lysates, or in purified enzyme preparations and may then be analyzed by measuring fluorescence intensity from the well without the need for cellular imaging.
