摘要

Since the fust measurements of single molecule fluorescence decay times in flowing sample streams several groups have improved the ability to distinguish between differently labeled single molecules due to their characteristic fluorescence decay times using time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). Using confocal excitation/detection techniques detection volumes in the femtoliter region can be easily attained which permit signal-to-background ratios (SBRs) > 100. For efficient detection of all analyte molecules a technique has to be developed which constrains all analyte molecules to flow through the detection volume. If a detection volume in the picoliter (pl) range is used, hydrodynamic focusing of the sample stream in a sheath flow cuvette has been applied successfully. Recently, efficient detection of single fluorescent molecules eluting off a polystyrene microsphere optically trapped in a flowing sheath stream has been demonstrated. Unfortunately, for the application of femtoliter detection volumes microcapillaries or microchannels with inner diameters smaller than the detection area (< 1μm) have to be used. Recently, we were able to demonstrate the time-resolved identification of individual fluorescent dyes as they flow through a microcapillary with an inner diameter of 500+-200 nm applying an electrical tension of a few volts. Addition of a nonionic detergent (Tween 20) efficiently suppressed adsorption of molecules to the glass surface of the capillary and reduced the electroosmotic flow.
