PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization

Chapter 6. Figure 2. Emission spectra, and spectral overlap, of four commonly used fluorescent dyes (FAM, HEX, ROX, and Cy5). To deconvolute the signal of multiple dyes within a single channel, dye calibration information is used to remove all fluorescent-signal present in a given channel that does not belong to the dye of interest. In short, dye calibration information is used to subtract, using simultaneuous equations, any dye bleed-through emissions (denoted by an asterisk above) from the emission signal generated by the dye of interest.
