Abstract
The application of the inner filter effect (IFE) in fluorescent substance determination is gaining popularity. In this paper, a theory of the fluorescence distribution along with the excitation light path is derived from our previous research about the spatial micro-element method. According to the relationship between the summation of fluorescence intensities along the vertical direction at a certain position on the excitation light path and the position, a high-concentration and wide-range fluorescent substance quantification method based on the IFE and fluorescence imaging analysis is proposed. Correspondingly, a high-throughput fluorescent substance quantification detection system is constructed. In order to validate the method, solutions of rhodamine B in different concentrations are used for principle validation, concentration prediction, and experimental investigation on the influence of integration time and lens distortion. The high-throughput system enables the simultaneous measurement of six samples, realizing the high-concentration and wide-range quantification of rhodamine B (100–600 mg/L) with high precision (R2 = 0.9992, MRE = 2.34 %). By setting the filter wheel, the system can measure the concentration of fluorescent substances with different emission wavelengths. The improvement of experimental device is expected to reduce the single sample capacity to tens of microliters and increase the overall sample quantity to tens or even hundreds. The proposed method and system are beneficial to fluorescence measurement in fields such as biomedicine and dye research and to the improvement of high-throughput fluorescence quantitative PCR instruments.
