We wrote some dedicated software for automatic setting of

A series of programs (BASIC & LabView) have been developed to measure:

intracellular calcium concentration (Quin2, Fura2,Indo1)

intracellular pH (BCECF)

membrane potential (bisoxonol)

cell viability (propidium iodide)

protease activity (BAAMC)

endocytosis and exocytosis (lucifer yellow, TMA-DPH)

membrane fluidity (Laurdan,Prodan)

energy transfer

Other programs are dedicated to fluorescence polarization:

membrane fluidity (DPH,TMA-DPH)

binding of fluoresceinated (FITC-labelled) ligands
