Analysis of fluorescent timer protein [DC-169FF54]

What is people's experience in analyzing changes in forms of the so-call
'fluorescent timer' protein?

In looking at the fluorescent spectral shift with maturation time, has
anyone used a ratiometric technique using red/green? Such a ratio might
provide a more sensitive way of showing the relative change in
maturation state as well as having the benefit of volume normalization
resulting in a more precise assessment of relative cell contents.
(Clearly, being able to analyze all time point samples in the same
instrument run would be best if the fixation method does not influence
the results.)

I will post summary to the group unless respondents wish otherwise.
