Show abstract
Optical redox ratio (ORR) is a commonly used metric to quantify the metabolic state of biological samples based on autofluorescence of NAD(P)H and FAD. Despite its relevance and popularity, little work has been done to quantify the estimation error of ORR, especially in low-photon count data. Here, we provide an analytical solution to determine ORR variability in the presence of shot noise and dark counts. We then validate this analytical model with simulated and experimental data. This work will enable researchers to quantify the uncertainty in their ORR measurements, aiding in more accurate and efficient experimental design and data analysis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
