Luminescent lanthanides provide a promising alternative to organic chromophores for cellular bioimaging and bioassay applications; efficacy is closely governed by their respective quantum yields. Conventionally utilized quantum-yield measurements for lanthanides are laborious and not amenable to rapid relative comparison of compound performance. Here, we introduce a high-throughput optical imaging method to determine and directly compare relative quantum yield using Cherenkov-radiation-mediated excitation of luminescent lanthanide complexes.
