Abstract

Fluorescence Labelling This invention generally relates to techniques for fluorescence labelling, and to methods, apparatus and computer program code for processing fluorescence signal data. A method of determining respective first and second degree-of-labelling signals for different respective first and second fluorophores associated with a common entity, the method comprising: determining a first fluorescence signal from said first and second fluorophores under first conditions; determining a second fluorescence signal from said first and second fluorophores under second conditions different to said first conditions; and determining said first and second degree-of-labelling signals for said first and second fluorophores from said first and second fluorescence signals; and wherein said determining of said first and second degree-of-labelling signals is responsive to at least one coupling value (c.sub.12; c.sub.21) representing a coupling of energy between said fluorophores.
