Funded Activity Summary

Novel Lanthanide Complexes and Polymeric Luminescent Chelates for Biomedical Imaging and Bioassay. The development of advanced materials and frontier technologies such as the luminescent chelates proposed here is essential for Australia's evolution as a competitive nation in fields such as biomedical imaging and clinical diagnostics. For example, the total expenditure on fluorescent reagents in 2004 exceeded US$1.5 billion, with an estimated 25% annual growth. With proven applications in diagnostic immunoassay and high throughput screening, the use of luminescent lanthanide complexes allows significant improvements over traditional fluorophores, facilitating miniaturisation and ultimately leading to reduced costs for the consumer.
