Fluorescence Tests Using Methylumbelliferone
As an alternative to using Sodium Fluorescein, Methylumbelliferone (“MUB”) can be
used to test the
top optics for the fluorescence system.
Required Materials
BioTek offers a liquid test kit (PN 7160012) containing the microplate
and solutions used in this procedure.
Microplates should be perfectly clean and free of dust or bottom
scratches. Use new microplates from sealed packages.
Manufacturer part numbers are subject to change.
