'''How the Fluorescence Technique Works'''<br> | '''How the Fluorescence Technique Works'''<br> | ||
The fluorescence technique measures the concentration of DNA in mixed liquids by adding a fluorescent dye and measuring the amount of fluorescence. This is done using a single drop fluorometer with a Teflon-coated glass slide. The slide's surface is not completely covered; circles of bare glass remain, which water sticks to, allowing drops of liquids to stay in place. Drops of DNA solution are placed on the glass circles along with SYBR Green I. Blue LED light from the fluorometer is aimed at the drops, exciting the dye and causing it to fluoresce. This fluorescence is then analyzed to determine the concentration of DNA in the solution. | The fluorescence technique measures the concentration of DNA in mixed liquids by adding a fluorescent dye and measuring the amount of fluorescence.
