1. A method of normalizing an analyzer response value of a fluorescence analyzer, the method comprising the steps of: measuring an excitation spectrum of the analyzer; measuring an emission sensitivity spectrum of the analyzer; determining a normalization factor based at least upon the excitation spectrum of the analyzer and the emission sensitivity spectrum of the analyzer; analyzing a sample to obtain an uncorrected analyzer response value; and calculating a normalized analyzer response value based at least upon the uncorrected analyzer response value and the normalization factor.
