Abstract

The discipline of fluorescence analysis, in the chemical sciences, requires the use of software for analyzing and viewing of fluorescence data. While there is software available for this task, it is generally both extremely expensive and proprietary. As a result, the software cannot be modified or updated to meet the needs of a specific researcher. This paper discusses the JFluro system, which is an open source Java based system used for the analysis of fluorescence data. The source code is freely available to researchers, removing the constraints imposed by proprietary software. Also, visual user interfaces have been developed to simplify its use for both novice and advanced users.
