PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Edit Content

FAST (Fluorescence Analysis Software Technology) offers advanced analysis of photoluminescence decay kinetics with outstanding robustness, speed, and fits that are 100% convergent.

FAST contains a library of advanced data reconvolution and curve fitting routines based on proprietary data processing algorithms, which in both speed and reliability surpass the conventional Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm.

Despite the sophisticated and challenging analysis models, FAST is easy to operate, with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. A wide range of data input, on-screen visualisation, and export facilities are available.

Experimental data can be analysed one at a time or in batch mode. The latter is particularly useful for larger data sets such as in assay development and screening.

Global Multi-Exponential Analysis

The Global Analysis Sub-Routine allows one to test decay models for common (linked) lifetime parameters.

Discrete Component Analysis

The GLSA (Global Least Square Analysis) algorithm is 100% convergent with either automatic choice of initial values or manual parameter control.

Stretched Exponential Analysis

FAST offers the fitting of fluorescence decays with up to four stretched exponential terms (Kohlrausch Quenching Model). Shift and background may be left as fitting parameters, or may be fixed.

Lifetime Distribution Analysis

Exponential series method combined with NTSVD (Non-Negative Truncated Singular Value Decomposition) technology. The algorithm does not require predefined shapes of the distributions.

Förster Kinetics

A fitting routine based on GLSA for the analysis of Förster kinetics between donors and randomly (homogeneously) distributed acceptors is included.

Micellar Quenching

Fluorescence kinetics of Fluorophores embedded in micelles can often be described by the Micellar Quenching model included in FAST.

Anisotropy

Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy models include a spherical rotor, two spherical rotors, spherical rotor with restricted rotation and ellipsoidal rotor.
