Abstract: The basic principle of fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy were introduced in this article. A setup of fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy(FCCS) was established with single wavelength laser. After the optimization of the setup, the detection volume is about 0.7 fL. This home-built setup was successfully applied for study of the binding reaction of human immunoglobulin G with goat anti-human immunoglobulin G. With quantum dots(745 nm) and Rhodamine B(580 nm) as probes and 532 nm laser beam as excitation source, the cross-talk effect was near completely suppressed. The molecule numbers in a highly focused volume, concentration, diffusion time and hydrodynamic radius of the reaction product can be determined by FCCS system.

Key words: Fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy, Single-molecule detection, Single wavelength laser excitation, Quantum dot
