Image-based, high-content screening assays demand solutions for image segmentation and cellular compartment encoding to track critical events - for example those reported by GFP fusions within mitosis, signalling pathways and protein translocations. To meet this need, a series of nuclear/cytoplasmic discriminating probes have been developed: DRAQ5$^{TM}$ and CyTRAK Orange$^{TM}$. These are spectrally compatible with GFP reporters offering new solutions in imaging and cytometry. At their most fundamental they provide a convenient fluorescent emission signature which is spectrally separated from the commonly used reporter proteins (e.g. eGFP, YFP, mRFP) and fluorescent tags such as Alexafluor 488, fluorescein and Cy2. Additionally, they do not excite in the UV and thus avoid the complications of compound UV-autofluorescence in drug discovery whilst limiting the impact of background sample autofluorescence. They provide a convenient means of stoichiometrically labelling cell nuclei in live cells without the aid of DMSO and can equally be used for fixed cells. Further developments have permitted the simultaneous and differential labelling of both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments in live and fixed cells to clearly render the precise location of cell boundaries which may be beneficial for quantitative expression measurements, cell-cell interactions and most recently compound in vitro toxicology testing.

In recent years the focus of research in dye chemistry has largely changed from involvement in the traditional chemistry of dyes and pigments to investigations of functional dyes. With the development of the elcetronics and information industries, the importance of functional dyes has increased. Many research papers have been published concerning new synthetic methods and mechanicsm of functional dyes. Highly functionalized dicyanopyrazine derivatives can be used as fluorescent dyestuffs, emitters for electroluminescent devices tec. (omitted)

The difference of whiteness, brightness and lightness was clearly explained in this paper by use of a tinting dye and a fluorescent whitening agent which are commercially widely used to make paper look whiter. Other optical properties such as tint, color shade, and color difference were also discussed. It is concluded that in comparing two tinting dyes, lightness (L*) is the most important property to be compared, while whiteness data should be used in caution in order not to surpass its significant range, and a*, b* values can also be used to find the change of color shades together with ${\Delta}E$ as color difference. In comparing two fluorescent whitening agents, whiteness or brightness values are most important to be compared, but lightness values are not suitable for this purpose; a*, b* and color difference ${\Delta}E$ can also be referred, but with less significance.

It has been reported that dose-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ increase by menadione in platelets could be measured by fluorescent dye, quin-2. The problems will be described here rel ating to measuring $Ca^{2+}$ in menadione-exposed platelets using fura-2 and fluo-3, widely used fluorescent indicators. Additions of menadione to fura-2 loaded platelets and their lysates resulted in marked reduction in fluorescence intensity at both 340nm ($Ca^{2+}$-unbound form) 380nm ($Ca^{2+}$-undbound form) excitation wavelengths. Fura-2 excitation spectra were overlapped with UV-visible absorption spectra of menadione, suggesting that light absorption by menadione itself could quench fluorescence generated by fura-2. Next approach was to use fluo-3 which has the higher wavelength (490nm) of excitation. Previous work demonstrated that treatment with probenecid to platelets was required to prevent fluo-3 dye leakage. However, probenecid itself was proven to be inadequate to measure the concentration of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$; by reducing menadione-induced cytotoxicity in platelets. Our results suggest that it is not feasible to measure $Ca^{2+}$ in platelets by using fura-2 and fluo-3 in the presence of probenecid, and cautions should be taken to measure changes of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ levels by fluorescent dyes following chemical exposure.

Fluorescent white organic light-emitting diodes showing high color-rendering indices (CRIs) of up to 81 was demonstrated, with a silicon-cored anthracene derivative (PATSPA) doped with DPAVBi utilized as the deep-blue host and dye materials, and the commercial dyes rubrene and DCM2 utilized as the orange- and red-light-emitting dyes. The devices, consisting of three emissive layers, showed bright-white-light emission, but the ratio of the blue peak to the orange and red peaks changed with the current density and the thickness of the blue emissive layer. A high CRI was achieved with the use of a deep-blue emitter doped in a novel host and by optimizing the blue-layer thickness. The device with a blue-layer thickness of 10 nm showed the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) color coordinate of (0.33, 0.35), a high CRI of 81, and a moderate external quantum efficiency of 2% at a current density of $2.5\;mA/cm^2$.

유동 세포 분석법은 세포나 입자에 대하여 정밀하고 다양한 광학적 특성을 제공해주는 전기적 탐지 기술이다. 형광 처리된 세포나 미립자에 특정한 파장의 빛을 가함으로써 발생 되는 광 산란과 형광 방출을 통해 세포의 크기와 입상도를 포함한 다차원적인 정보를 제공해주는 유동 세포 분석법은 생체 의학 분야 또는 생물 물리학 분야에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 그러나 유동 세포 분석법은 고가이며 장비 설치에 있어 적절한 공간이 필요하고 형광 염료 선택에 제한적이라는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는, 상용화된 유동 세포 분석에 사용되는 고가의 레이저와 운영시스템 대신 발광 다이오드, 마이크로 컨트롤러와 광 검출기를 사용한 저가의 형광세포 측정 시스템을 개발하여 사용자가 원하는 형광 염료에 대한 자유도를 높였다. 또한, 3D 프린터를 사용하여 모듈별 소형화 및 경량화를 통한 사용자 맞춤형 제작이 가능하도록 하였다. 그 결과, 형광처리 한 세포의 양에 변화를 주어 발광도를 측정하였을 때, 높은 선형성이 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

마이크로 유체 시스템을 활용한 농축 기술은 저과다 분석물을 특정 위치에 모으거나 추출하는 기술로, 의료 및 바이오 분야를 포함한 다양한 분야에서 필수적인 기술로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이온교환막을 활용한 전기막 시스템(electromembrane system)에서 전기영동(electrophoresis) 현상을 이용해 타겟 샘플을 농축할 때 고려해야 할 변수에 대한 광범위한 연구를 수행하였다. 가시화가 용이한 형광염료로 음전하를 띄는 Alexa Fluor 488과 양전하를 띄는 Rhodamine 6G을 샘플로 사용하여, 타겟 샘플이 포함된 메인 채널의 유속과 메인/버퍼 채널의 농도, 전압 등이 샘플 농축에 어떻게 영향을 끼치는지 알아보았다. 실험 결과, 메인/버퍼 채널 농도비가 같을 경우, 유속이 느릴수록, 샘플이 포함된 메인 채널의 농도가 높을수록, 타겟 샘플의 농축이 훨씬 더 잘 일어난다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 Alexa Fluor 488과 Rhodamine 6G의 전기영동 이동도 값을 실험적으로 계산하여 비교하였다.
