A systematic investigation of differential effects of cell culture substrates on the extent of artifacts in single-molecule tracking.

Single-molecule techniques are being increasingly applied to biomedical investigation, notwithstanding the numerous challenges they pose in terms of signal-to-noise ratio issues. Non-specific binding of probes to glass substrates, in particular, can produce experimental artifacts due to spurious mol...
