A vessel for holding at least one test sample to be measured for its fluorescence, wherein the vessel is formed from a material having a native fluorescence, and wherein the vessel is provided with a barrier which blocks penetration or at least reduces the extent of penetration of an exciting light into the vessel's fluorescable material to prevent fluorescent excitation of the vessel or at least reduces the extent to which the vessel is fluorescently excited when exposed to an exciting light during the fluorometric measurement.

Non-fluorescent vessels for holding test samples in fluorescent assays

A sensitive frontal approach fluorometer which is suitable for measuring the fluorescence of samples in open top microtest wells and which has an optical system for (a) directing an exciting light downwardly into the well's open top to fluorescently excite the sample and (b) detecting the sample's emitted light which passes upwardly through the well's open top.
