A method of testing compatibility of a detection probe comprising an oligonucleotide and a fluorophore to a composition of a sealing cover, can comprise (a) depositing a quantity of the fluorophore into a plurality of containers; (b) providing a plurality of sealing covers; (c) sealing the plurality of containers with each of the plurality of the sealing covers; (d) exciting the fluorophore; (e) measuring an emission intensity from the fluorophore; and (f) evaluating the emission intensity from the fluorophore to determine the relative compatibility of each of the plurality of sealing covers with the fluorophore. |
