We have characterized two sets of fluorescence-labeled beads with single-bead fluorescence microspectroscopy. Our results demonstrate the possible self-quenching effect on the fluorescence in the resin bead
and, therefore, call for a careful selection of fluorophores and a rigorous control of the labeling reaction
yield in order to generate labeled beads for combinatorial chemistry and other disciplines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
