We all think of something glowing when we hear the words luminescence, fluorescence or phosphorescence but the mechanism that stand behind these effects are somehow different. So, the question is, what sets them apart from each other?
Luminescence vs fluorescence and phosphorescenceIn this interview Eric Sellal, CEO of Biosellal shares insights into his company´s work developing real-time PCR and ELISA methods for COVID-19 detection and discussing the concept of “One Health”.

Busting Myths about Microplate Reader InjectorsMicroplate readers offer often the option to read fluorescence both, from the top and from the bottom but, what are the benefits of each reading mode?
What are the benefits of top reading vs bottom reading?Instrument sensitivity has been defined as the smallest amount of change that can be detected by a measurement. But, from a scientific point of view, how can we distinguish between sensitive and less sensitive microplate readers?
How sensitive is your microplate reader?Modern microplate readers are able to detect very low quantities of light; this has led to an increasing focus on optical crosstalk.
