Course content
The course is devoted to in-depth theoretical study of the basics of fluorescence analysis, the use of fluorescence spectroscopy in biochemical and medical research. The peculiarities of the structure of the main types of fluorescent probes and the principles of their use in practice are considered in detail; ways to register the analytical signal and improve the metrological characteristics of the methods. Particular attention is paid to the development of practical skills in the use of fluorescent probes to determine analytes of different nature.
