Abstract
A remote measuring method and apparatus for measuring the temperature of an aqueous solution, particularly useful in monitoring the temperature of a reaction in a microwell, is provided by introducing a dye target and a dye into an aqueous solution; wherein the dye, when bound to the dye target, emits a detectable signal and reproducibly exhibits a temperature dependent signal when appropriately stimulated, stimulating the dye, measuring the resultant signal, and determining the temperature by comparing the measured signal with predetermined temperature related values therefor.
