Protected fluorescent reagent compounds and their methods of synthesis are provided. The compounds are useful in various fluorescence-based analytical methods, including the analysis of highly multiplexed optical reactions in large numbers at high densities, such as single molecule real time nucleic acid sequencing reactions. The compounds contain fluorescent dye elements, that allow the compounds to be detected with high sensitivity at desirable wavelengths, binding elements, that allow the compounds to be recognized specifically by target biomolecules, and protective shield elements, that decrease undesirable contacts between the fluorescent dye elements and the bound target biomolecules and that therefore decrease photodamage of the bound target biomolecules by the fluorescent dye elements.

A fluorescence imaging device detects fluorescence in parts of the visible and invisible spectrum, and projects the fluorescence image directly on the human body, as well as on a monitor, with improved sensitivity, video frame rate and depth of focus, and enhanced capabilities of detecting distribution and properties of multiple fluorophores. Direct projection of three-dimensional visible representations of florescence on three-dimensional body areas advantageously permits view of it during surgical procedures, including during cancer removal, reconstructive surgery and wound care, etc. A NIR laser and a human visible laser (HVL) are aligned coaxially and scanned over the operating field of view. When the NIR laser passes over the area where the florescent dye is present, it energizes the dye which emits at a shifted NIR frequency detected by a photo diode. The HVL is turned on when emission is detected, providing visual indication of those positions.

The invention discloses a nucleic acid analyzing method based on cascade HCR (hybridization chain reaction), and belongs to the field of molecule detection. The nucleic acid analyzing method is characterized in that on the basis of single HCR, two stages of HCR reaction are designed, and the signals can be further amplified on the basis of single HCR; the hairpin nucleic acid probes marked with multiple different fluorescent dyes can be alternatively hybridized by a final target product, so as to form a branched DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) nanometer structure; the signal output is provided bythe fluorescent resonance energy transfer, and the concentration of the target nucleic acid can be judged according to the change value of the fluorescence intensity of fluorophore. The nucleic acid analyzing method has the advantages that the nucleic acid analyzing method can be used for in-vitro detection of DNA and miRNA (miniature ribonucleic acid), the specificity is good, and the sensitivityis high; the nucleic acid analyzing method can be used for the imaging analysis of miRNA in cells, and be favorable for the early diagnosis on cancers.

A system and method for confocal imaging of tissue in vivo and in situ, e.g., for minimally invasive diagnosis of patients. A catheter is provided that has a dye carrier coupled to the distal end of a fiber optics bundle, which allows for the introduction of at least one fluorescent dye therein the dye carrier into a portion of the tissue of interest of a subject or patient when the dye carrier is selectively brought into contact with the portion of the tissue of interest. The resulting confocal images permit the acquisition of diagnostic information on the progression of diseases at cellular/tissue level in patients. Furthermore, a system for ECG-triggered image acquisition is provided.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for imaging nerve cells. The composition comprises a fluorescent dye; and a viral component selected from a neurotropic, replication-defective virus, a viral protein of a neurotropic virus, and a capsid of a neurotropic virus. Although the fluorescent dye in itself cannot penetrate nerve cells, the fluorescent dye is bound to the viral component to form a dye/viral component complex that is capable of penetrating nerve cells.

The invention also provides the conjugate and the preparation method of the fluorescent dye, the combination containing the fluorescent dye and the biological dyeing method by using the fluorescent dye or the combination.

Systems and methods for analyzing blood samples, and more specifically for performing a white blood cell (WBC) differential analysis. The systems and methods screen WBCs by means of fluorescence staining and a fluorescence triggering strategy. As such, interference from unlysed red blood cells (RBCs) and fragments of lysed RBCs is substantially eliminated. The systems and methods also enable development of relatively milder WBC reagent(s), suitable for assays of samples containing fragile WBCs. In one embodiment, the systems and methods include: (a) staining a blood sample with an exclusive cell membrane permeable fluorescent dye, which corresponds in emission spectrum to an excitation source of a hematology instrument; (b) using a fluorescence trigger to screen the blood sample for WB Cs; and (c) using measurements of (1) axial light loss, (2) intermediate angle scatter, (3) 90° polarized side scatter, (4) 90° depolarized side scatter, and (5) fluorescence emission to perform a differentiation analysis.

The invention provides the appraisal and selective method for the antineoplastic drug based on the cell micrograph information, which uses a sort of selection and appraisal hardware system to appraisal and select the antineoplastic drug by different fluorescence dye marking and measuring the multicellular parameter change in cell. The hardware system is made up of the high precision electric hydrous platform, the fluorescence vision system, the image collecting and processing system and working station. The diacetoxyl fluoresceine dyeing measures the active cell number; the double dyeing method of Hoechst33342 and iodized pyridine appraise the drug inducing the cell die; the three dyeing method of FDA, Hoechst33342 and PI analyzes the die mode induced by drug. The invention can measure at least two kinds of single cell or cell subgroup which expresses different drone cell organ. The method is in reason and can be used in study of drug action mechanism and selecting the high hedonic drug and toxicity analyzing, which can be used in selecting drug and appraising the drug toxicity.
