  1. ThePhotobleachingEffect by Stephen Payne ?

  2. Binds to double-stranded DNA and fluoresces Does not bind to single-stranded DNA SYBR Green

  3. The Problem LED Double-Stranded DNA Bleached SYBR Green Light Fluorescent SYBR Green

  4. Suspicion of The Problem

  5. Bleaching Function -.00078t Flu = e

  6. Bleaching Function -.00068t Flu = e

  7. Correction by Bleaching Factor

  8. Insignificant Bleaching Effect?

  9. The Solution • Change R1 in LED Driver from a 4.3 Ohm resistor to a 20 Ohm resistor

  10. Reduced Bleaching Effect

  11. The Theory 20 Ohms Optimal Signal Signal 4.3 Ohms R Resistance (Ohms) optimal

  12. Conclusion • Photobleaching significantly affected our system with the 4.3 Ohm resistor • This effect was reduced via increasing the resistance in the LED driver • Further optimization of the system is possible
