Abstract:
A process for the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently labeled biological cells involves contacting a cell layer on a transparent support at the bottom of a reaction vessel with a solution containing the fluorescent dye. This process can also be used for improving the sensitivity in the quantitative optical analysis of a luminescent biological cell layer. Analogously, these process principles can also be used in receptor studies for the masking of the interfering background radiation in the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently or luminescently labelled reaction components. In this case, a receptor layer at the bottom of a reaction vessel is in contact with a solution in which a fluorescent or luminescent ligand is dissolved.
Abstract:
In a process for the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently labelled biological cells 5, a cell layer on a transparent support at the bottom 2 of a reaction vessel 1 is in contact with a solution 3 containing the fluorescent dye 4. The sensitivity of analytical detection can be considerably improved if to the fluorescent dye 4 already present in addition a masking dye 9, which absorbs the excitation light 6 for the fluorescent dye 4 and/or its emission light 7, is added to the solution 3 and/or if a separating layer 10 permeable to the solution and absorbing and/or reflecting the excitation light 6 or the emission light 7 is applied to the cell layer at the bottom 2. This process can also be used for improving the sensitivity in the quantitative optical analysis of a luminescent biological cell layer. The separating layer 10 must in this case be composed such that it has a high power of reflection for the luminescent light 11. Analogously, these process principles can also be used in receptor studies for the masking of the interfering background radiation in the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently or luminescently labelled reaction components. In this case, a receptor layer 12 at the bottom 2 of a reaction vessel 1 is in contact with a solution (supernatant 3) in which a fluorescent or luminescent ligand 13 is dissolved. The sensitivity and accuracy of the analytical detection can be considerably improved here if a masking dye 9 which absorbs the excitation light 6 for the fluorescent dye and/or its emission light or (in the case of luminescent ligands) the luminescent light is added to the supernatant 3. Instead of the masking dye in the solution 3 or optionally as an additional measure, a separating layer 10 permeable to the solution 3 and absorbing and/or reflecting the excitation light 6 and/or the emission light or the luminescent light can be applied to the cell or receptor layer 12 at the bottom 2.
Abstract:
In a process for the quantitative optical analysis of biological cells labelled with a fluorescent dye, the sensitivity of analytical detection can be considerably improved if a masking dye, which absorbs the excitation light for the fluorescent dye and/or its emission light is added to the solution surrounding the biological cells and/or if a separating layer permeable to the solution and absorbing and/or reflecting the excitation light or the emission light is applied to a layer of the biological cells at the bottom of a reaction vessel. This process can also be used for improving the sensitivity in the quantitative optical analysis of a luminescent biological cell layer. Analogously, these process principles can also be used in receptor studies for the masking of the interfering background radiation in the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently or luminescently labelled reaction components.
Abstract:
The tetrahydroquinolines can be prepared by condensing appropriately substituted tetrahydroquinoline aldehydes with suitable substances and subsequently varying the substituents present by customary methods. The tetrahydroquinolines are suitable as active compounds in medicaments, in particular in medicaments. for the treatment of arteriosclerosis and dyslipidaemias.
