Standardization and Quality Assurance in Fluorescence Measurements II

Bioanalytical and Biomedical Applications
Herausgegeben:Resch-Genger, Ute

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The validation and standardization of fluorescence methods is still in its infancy as compared to other prominent analytical and bioanalytical methods. Appropriate quality assurance standards are however a prerequisite for applications in highly regulated fields such as medical diagnostics, drug development, or food analysis.

For the first time, a team of recognized international experts has documented the present status of quality assurance in fluorescence measurements, and outlines concepts for establishing standards in this field.

This second of two volumes covers applications of fluorescence for bioanalysis and biomedical diagnostics.
