Fluorescence Screening of DNA-AgNCs with Pulsed White Light Excitation

DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are a class of fluorophores with interesting photophysical properties dominated by the choice of DNA sequence. Screening methods with ultraviolet excitation and steady state well plate readers have previously been used for deepening the understanding between DNA sequence and emission color of the resulting DNA-AgNCs. Here, we present a new method for screening DNA-AgNCs by using pulsed white light excitation (λ
