New filters for fluorescence detection – UK special issue paper

A simple technique for making non-emissive colour filters for microfluidics applications has been developed by John deMello and colleagues at Imperial College, London. Their approach, described recently in Lab on a Chip, employs a solely dye-based method to create high performance filters avoiding the expense and variability inherent in interference filters. The authors highlight the advantages of lower cost and lower auto-fluorescence which could be good news for the analytical chemistry community.

Read the full article here and why not take a sneak preview of the special issue in which it will be included, the UK 10th Anniversary issue, by reading the introductory Editorial by Andrew deMello and Hywel Morgan.
