| Abstract |
Owing to its fast and reliable assessment of parasite growth, the SYBR(®) Green I-based fluorescence assay is widely used to monitor drug susceptibility of malaria parasites. Its particular advantages are that it is a simple, one-step procedure and very cost-effective making it especially suited for high through put screening of newly developed drugs and drug combinations. Here we describe a SYBR(®) Green I-based fluorescence assay protocol to be used for routine screening of compounds and extracts in a research laboratory environment. A variation of the standard protocol is also provided allowing to address stage-specific effects of fast-acting drugs. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 May 2017.
All research outputs
#18,546,002
of 22,968,808 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,942
of 13,142 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#311,285
of 421,088 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#693
of 1,074 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,968,808 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,142 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,088 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,074 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
