A1 - Resch-Genger, Ute T1 - Simple approaches to fluorescence lifetime standards using dye-quencher pairs N2 - Photoluminescence techniques are amongst the most widely used tools in the material and life sciences, with new and exciting applications continuously emerging. Advantages include their comparative ease of use, unique sensitivity, non-invasive character, and potential for multiplexing, remote sensing, and miniaturization. Increasing applications of fluorescence techniques in the life sciences and emerging medical applications of fluorescence microscopic techniques including 1P and 2P fluorescence microscopy combined with fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) in e.g. in vivo eye diagnostics boosted the demand for robust, easy-to-use, and reliable fluorescence standards to ensure the reliability and comparability of fluorescence data. This includes fluorescence standards for the consideration of instrument-specific spectral and intensity distortions of measured signals and instrument performance validation, fluorescence intensity standards for the quantification of measured intensities and for signal referencing, and lately, also fluorescence lifetime standards.
