6.13.1 Recommended Filters (Infinite F200 PRO only)
Please ask your local Tecan dealer for a recommended filter set. Filters designed
for a different type of instrument will not necessarily perform well with the Infinite
F200 PRO.
Note
If the excitation and the emission maximum of a fluorescent species
are close together, they should not be directly translated into center
wavelengths for fluorescence filters.
To provide acceptable background, usually, the upper cutoff for excitation
wavelengths on the one hand, and the lower cutoff for emission wavelengths on
the other hand need to be separated. This compromise depends on the blocking
properties of the filters. For many fluorescent molecules the signal can be
improved by the filter bandwidth away from the other center wavelength.
