What is fluorescence polarization assay?
Fluorescence polarization (FP) technology is based on the measurement of molecule rotation, and has been widely used to study molecular interactions in solution. This method can be used to measure binding and dissociation between two molecules if one of the binding molecules is relatively small and fluorescent.
Why is FPIA important?
The benefits of FPIA include the elimination of steps to separate bound and free labels, giving the potential for very rapid immunoassays. The reported FPIA are indeed rapid, with most taking from 2 to 15 min to complete.
How does fluorescence anisotropy work?
Fluorescence anisotropy or fluorescence polarization is a measurement of the changing orientation of a molecule in space, with respect to the time between the absorption and emission events. The slower the motion, the more the emitted light retains the polarization.
How is fluorescence polarization immunoassay measured?
Fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) is a class of in vitro biochemical test used for rapid detection of antibody or antigen in sample. The change in polarization is proportional to the amount of antigen in sample, and is measured by a fluorescence polarization analyzer.
How do you measure fluorescence anisotropy?
It can be measured by moving the excitation polarizer to the horizontal orientation and comparing the intensities when the emission polarizer is vertically and horizontally polarized respectively. G is emission wavelength dependent. Note G in literature is defined as the inverse shown.

What is fluorescence polarization anisotropy?
Fluorescence anisotropy or fluorescence polarization is a measurement of the changing orientation of a molecule in space, with respect to the time between the absorption and emission events. To use this information, polarizers are placed in the excitation light path and the emission light path of a fluorometer.
How do you calculate fluorescence anisotropy?
For anisotropy images, the parallel (III) and perpendicular (I⊥) components of the emitted light (with respect to polarized excitation) are simultaneously acquired and used to calculate the steady state fluorescence anisotropy as r = (III − I⊥)/(III + 2I⊥).
