A spectrofluorometer is a scientific instrument that measures the
intensity and wavelengths of fluorescence emitted by a sample when exposed to
specific wavelengths of light. It is widely used in molecular biology,
biochemistry, and chemistry to analyze the fluorescence characteristics of
compounds. Spectrofluorometers help researchers study molecular structures,
quantify concentrations of fluorescent molecules, and investigate biological
processes such as DNA and protein interactions. They are essential tools for
fluorescence spectroscopy, allowing for the sensitive detection and analysis of
fluorescent substances in various fields of research and diagnostics.
