Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluorescent probe technology, specifically relating to a method and system for quantifying the luminescence intensity of fluorescent probe molecules. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information in relation to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Fluorescent probe molecules are a class of functional molecules that can specifically recognize target substances and produce changes in fluorescence signals. As a core tool in modern life science and medical research, they play an important role in life sciences, medical diagnosis, drug development, environmental monitoring, food safety and forensic identification.

[0004] Luminescence intensity refers to the strength of the fluorescence signal emitted by a probe molecule after being irradiated with excitation light, and it is one of the core indicators for evaluating probe performance. Given that accurately quantifying the luminescence intensity of fluorescent probe molecules is a crucial foundation for the transition of fluorescence technology from qualitative observation to quantitative science, establishing a standardized quantitative evaluation system for the luminescence performance of fluorescent probes has significant scientific importance and value.

[0005] However, existing methods for quantifying the luminescence intensity of fluorescent probes still suffer from the following bottlenecks: (1) The power of the measuring instrument and the sensitivity of the detector are different, and there is a lack of unified standards for parameters such as excitation wavelength and sample concentration, which makes the measurement results of the luminescence intensity of different probe molecules incomparable. (2) The experimental measurement process is complex, the operation is cumbersome, the human error is large, the cost is high, and the repeatability is poor, which seriously restricts the research and development efficiency of fluorescent probes. (3) Existing methods mostly focus on measuring "steady-state luminescence intensity", ignoring the influence of time evolution and dynamic fluctuations in molecular structure caused by environmental perturbations on luminescence intensity, making it difficult to accurately assess the performance of probes in dynamic processes such as actual in vivo imaging. Summary of the Invention
