Usually utilized to determine whether or not genetic pathogens or discrepancy's are present. Capable of detecting Virus's like HIV as well as precursors for Diabetes. Single-Drop Fluorimeter The Single-Drop Fluorimeter is the device that illuminates the dye allowing for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the compounds being observed. The device itself consists of just a box stand with a slide holder on its surface. Lateral to the stand is a small fluorescent bulb that illuminates the fluid solution. On the side of the box is a flip switch that turns the fluorescent light on and off. How the Fluorescence Technique Works The Fluorescence Technique's function is to identify the presence of different genetic pathogens. This works by bathing the SYBR Green Dye and DNA sample with a black light. A phenotype present in target DNA sequences causes positively effected DNA samples to glow with a green fluorescence when subjected to the black light. Procedure Smart Phone Camera Settings Type of Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S4 Flash: Inactive ISO setting: Auto White Balance: Auto Exposure: Highest Setting Saturation: Highest Setting Contrast: Lowest Setting Calibration The smart-phone is set in a position so that its camera is eye level with the slide. In order to achieve this with phones of different lengths, it is necessary to raise the box off the ground using small booklets or pencil boxes. For the most effective images the phone timer is set so that the image is taken after the lid of the blackout box is closed. Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop = 14cm Solutions Used for Calibration Initial Concentration (micrograms) Volume of the 2x DNA solution Volume of SYBR GREEN 1 FInal DNA concentration in SYBR GREEN 1 solution 5 80 80 2.5 2 80 80 1 1 80 80 0.5 0.5 80 80 0.25 0.25 80 80 0.125 0 80 80 0 [Add more rows as needed] Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter Place a slide with the smooth side back down in the cut out slot in the flourimeter. Place the cellphone on the cradle with the camera facing the flourimeter. Adjust the flourimeter to the necessary height using booklets or trays. Measure the distance between the cellphone and the flourimeter. Put a 80 microliter drop of SYBR Green 1 on the slide on the flourimeter directly across from the fluorescent light bulb. Add another 80 microliter drop of your sample on the top of the drop already on the slide. Make sure that the light is switched "ON" Using the cellphone and timer press the capture button on the phone. Put down the lid of the light box. Allow phone to take the picture and then lift the lid. Record what sample you just took a picture of and repeat this with the next position.
