  • Agricultural: Resistance assays, pesticide tracing, chlorophyll determinations, crop protection, genetic modification and plant genetics
  • Cell Biology: Cell studies(viability, quantification, proliferation, adhesion), cytotoxicity, reporter gene and apoptosis
  • Clinical: Assays (enzyme, substrate, toxicity), porphyrins, steroids, vitamin and amine studies
  • Environmental: Pesticide detection, ground-water tracing, oil contamination of water, chlorophyll determination of toxic algae, exhaust gas composition, water purity, uranium and aluminum determination and biomass
  • Enzymology: Protease assays, inhibition studies, surfactant studies and kinetic assays
  • Immunology: Fluorescent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, cell proliferation/activation, and tumor necrosis factor
  • Industrial: Crack tracing (aerospace), security inks, coding phosphors, brightening/whitening reagents, ultraviolet stabilizers and plasticizers, crude oil fingerprinting, and postage stamp marking
  • Inorganic: Aluminum, lead, magnesium, manganese, selenium, zinc, and tin
