- *Abstract
-
- *Background
- Current fluorescence intensity-based techniques are well-established in traditional screening methods that are used in diagnostic instruments. These methods rely on organic fluorochromes and emission band-detection systems. Although very powerful, they are restricted to approximately one dozen simultaneous fluorescent probes due to their design. Complex spectral compensation, complicated and numerous optics, and restricted spectral bandwidths make the current technology less efficient than desired.
