Apparatus and methods for identifying quenching effects in luminescence assays

摘要

Apparatus and methods for identifying and correcting for quenching in luminescence assays using luminescence lifetimes and/or luminescence intensities. One aspect of the invention involves identifying quenching using combinations of luminescence lifetimes and/or intensities. Another aspect of the invention involves correcting for quenching by eliminating false positives or false negatives due to quenching in luminescence assays.
