Nomenclature of Multiplex® signals. The name of each signal in the fluorescence excitation-emission matrix is defined by the abbreviation for its emission-light colour separated by the underscore sign from the abbreviation for its excitation-light colour: yellow (YF), red (RF) and far-red (FRF) fluorescence, excited by ultraviolet (_UV), blue (_B), green (_G) or red (_R) light. The central wavelength of each colour is indicated in brackets.
| Emission (nm) |
Excitation (nm) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UV (373) | Blue (B) (470) | Green (G) (516) | Red-orange (R) (635) | |
| YF (590) | YF_UV | YF_Ba | YF_Ga | YF_Ra |
| RF (685) | RF_UV | RF_B | RF_G | RF_R |
| FRF (735) | FRF_UV | FRF_B | FRF_G | FRF_R |

In the present configuration of Multiplex®, these signals are reflected light rather than fluorescence.
