Abstract :
The paper presents front-end ASIC and measurements of low intensity fluorescence light using Silicon Photomultiplier. Front-end ASIC is dedicated device for amplifying and shaping signals from Silicon Photomultipliers. Measurement method is described. Fluorescence intensity for sodium fluoresceinate and resorufin in different concentrations is presented. Sensitivity limit is studied.
