Abstract
Fluorescence is a versatile technique with applications ranging from ultra-low-cost tests that are available over the counter via point of care instruments for use in the doctor's office to state-of-the-art clinical analysers. This article describes fluorescence, draws on a number of examples to illustrate its versatility and looks at what the future has in store for this powerful technique.
