"Dr. Zimmer has written the first overview of one of history's most important revolutions in biology and medicine ...The wonderful future that fluorescent proteins will bring us cannot even be imagined at this point." ROBERT M. HOFFMAN, PhD. President, AntiCancer, Inc.

"Marc Zimmer tells the fascinating story about how a curiosity of nature, animals that glow in the night, has led to major technological advancements in the molecular biology revolution. This book reveals how academic inquiry can improve the quality of our lives in surprising ways." KEITH WOOD, Research Fellow, Promega Corporation

"This book provides a striking example of how results of basic fundamental research can lead to extensive, wide-ranging, practical applications exceeding the wildest expectations of those making the initial findings. Many countermeasures currently being developed against chemical and biological threats posed by international terrorism rely directly or indirectly upon the discoveries described so elegantly in this book." KEITH B. WARD, PhD. Science Advisor and Program Manager, Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency US Department of Homeland Security

"An illuminating review of a family of molecules that has revolutionized biomedical science and is beginning to do the same to our daily lives." RANDALL PRATHER, Distinguished Professor of Reproductive Biotechnology, University of Missouri-Columbia

"The discovery and development of green fluorescent protein has had profound impact on molecular biology research, which Zimmer conveys with considerable insight and aplomb." KEVIN DAVIES, PhD, Author of CRACKING THE GENOME and editor-in-chief of BIO-IT WORLD

Luminescence, for example, as fluorescence, bioluminescence, and phosphorescence, can result from chemical changes, electrical energy, subatomic motions, reactions in crystals, or stimulation of an atomic system. This subject continues to have a major technological role for humankind in the form of applications such as organic and inorganic light emitters for flat panel and flexible displays such as plasma displays, LCD displays, and OLED displays.

Luminescent Materials and Applications describes a wide range of materials and applications that are of current interest including organic light emitting materials and devices, inorganic light emitting diode materials and devices, down-conversion materials, nanomaterials, and powder and thin-film electroluminescent phosphor materials and devices. In addition, both the physics and the materials aspects of the field of solid-state luminescence are presented. Thus, the book may be used as a reference to gain an understanding of various types and mechanisms of luminescence and of the implementation of luminescence into practical devices.

The book is aimed at postgraduate students (physicists, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and engineers) and researchers in industry, for example, at lighting and display companies and academia involved in studying conduction in solids and electronic materials. It will also provide an excellent starting point for all scientists interested in luminescent materials. Finally it is hoped that this book will not only educate, but also stimulate further progress in this rapidly evolving field..

Description:
Reducing bioassay variability by identifying sources of variation and controlling important parameters in assay protocol was demonstrated in this study. The variability of a bioassay based on a luminescent bacterium was examined as an example. This assay involved the growth of cells, storage at a low temperature, activation, and exposure to a test sample, and the assay response was bioluminescence inhibition. After determining that measurement error was small and negligible, the total assay variability was decomposed in an initial variance components study into between-batch, between-vial, and between-tube variations. Results indicated that between-vial variations accounted for the majority of the total observed variability and that reducing this type of variation would be beneficial. Five parameters in the assay protocol were determined as factors that potentially affected assay variability significantly. A split-plot design was employed to investigate the effects of these factors and some of their interactions on the assay response. One of the five factors, i.e., activation temperature, turned out to have a significant effect. The variance components study was repeated with better control of activation temperature as well as other parameters. Results indicated that the total variability of the bioassay was reduced by approximately 85%. .
