Streak-FLIM (Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy) is a unique technique developed by the FRAIB imaging platform, which makes it possible to reveal protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, or changes in spatial conformation. If they are close enough to interact, molecules transfer energy to each other and this can be measured through fluorescence lifetime, providing a wealth of useful information. These measures are nevertheless independent of the concentration of the molecule and its fluorescence intensity.

Services:

FLIM

  • Detection of molecular interactions (protein – protein, protein – DNA, etc.) by measuring the fluorescence lifetime of the donor in the absence or presence of an acceptor.
  • Detection by a Streak camera (Hamamatsu Streakscope) for measuring the lifetime, with a resolution on the order of a picosecond.
  • Variable time acquisition (from seconds to tens of seconds) according to the fluorescence intensity and the type of information sought (lifetime by ROI, or pixel-based).

Access mode:

  • With assistance
  • As collaborative project
  • As service delivery

Technical characteristics:

    • Nikon TE2000 inverted microscope
    • Images in x, t (t in variable full scale according to the voltage ramp applied to the deflection electrodes from 1 ns to 1 µs).
    • Images in x, t with stacks of images in y.
    • Obtaining the fluorescence decay curves for one ROI or per pixel.
    • Determining the ai and ti parameters by least squares adjustment of the obtained experimental curves (nonlinear least squares or maximum likelihood).
