Fluorescence Enhancing Slides ａnd Versatile, （bio）-functionalized coatings for Glass, Metal Oxides ａnd ITO

Fluorescence systems （e.g. microscopes） are today widely used in the life science research. For many applications an increased sensitivity compared to existing glass slides is required. The BrightSlide™ D technology uses a proprietary dielectric coating to significantly enhance the signal intensity of fluorescence molecules from the surface. It can be read out with all systems that illuminate ａnd detect from the top. The technology makes use of purely optical principles ａnd substitutes conventional glass substrates.

The BrightSlide™ D （Dielectric） comes standard as a bare SiO₂ Surface.

Benefits

• Better signal to noise ratio
• Less sample material can be used
• More genes can be detected
• Existing instrument platform can be used
• Purely optical amplification of fluorescence signal
• Dielectric, high quality SiO₂ surface ready to apply customer bio-functional coating （use your own bio-functional coating, no change of chemical protocol required）

Applications

• Universal detection platform for fluorescence detection on planar surfaces, e.g. fluorescence detection of ultra thin samples
• Differential gene expression using Cy3 ａnd Cy5 labels simultaneously
• Gene expression using Cy3 or Cy5 labels independently
