Re: [DIYbio] Phosphorescent PCR dye

Why is fluorescence difficult to measure? qPCR machines use lasers or LEDs to excite fluoropores and sensors to detect the fluorescence. I don't think phosphorescence is suitable for real time PCR. The advantage of fluoresence is its speed in excitation and emission. With each cycle, you can detect the amount of the target gene.

Since phosphorescence emission lasts longer, the emission from the previous excitation will interfere with later detection. Hence, it's unsuitable for continuous detection.

Hello,
I'm studying real-time PCR and I have a question regarding the dyes. I found on the Internet different types of this molecules, but all of them use the fluorescence. In my opinion the fluorescence is very fast and, from an electronic point of view, is difficult to measure. If a dye based on phosphorescence existed, it would be simpler. Do you know a phosphorescencent dye?
Best regards,
Gabriele
