Fluorescent labeling and fluorescent staining are widely used in basic and applied research in the life sciences, including the quantitative determination of nucleic acids and proteins, electrophoresis assays, gene sequencing, flow cytometry and microscopic observation, as they allow highly-sensitive assays by fluorescence detection.
The use of fluorescent imaging has recently increased dramatically for elucidating various in vivo phenomena at the molecular level. Fluorescent imaging is also being applied to basic research on diseases because it allows real-time imaging without damaging cells and tissues.
