Abstract:
In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a module assembly and a main assembly. The module assembly includes a module assembly housing, a first face plate and an analysis unit attached to the first face. The main assembly includes a main assembly housing, a second face plate and an engine unit rigidly attached to the second face plate. The engine unit generates a light that passes to the analysis unit via a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly. The first lens assembly is attached to the first face plate and the second lens assembly is attached to the second face plate. The module assembly when attached to the main assembly causes the first and second face plates to act as a single mechanical unit that moves independent of movement of the module assembly housing and/or the main assembly housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (12) for analyzing a target (14) in a sample (16), the target being capable of generating an emitting light. The apparatus comprises a detector (36), and a luminescence cartridge (200) comprising: an integrated read head (202), a driver (204) for moving the integrated read head (202), and an optical system (88-92, 212-218) for receiving emitting light from the target (14) and directing the emitting light from the target to the detector (36), wherein the cartridge is adapted to be removably engaged with the apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel microfluidic substrates and methods that are useful for performing biological, chemical and diagnostic assays. The substrates can include a plurality of electrically addressable, channel bearing fluidic modules integrally arranged such that a continuous channel is provided for flow of immiscible fluids.
Abstract:
The process-analysis device (10) has a base module (14) and a convertible cartridge module (12), where the base module has a pumping drive (16) and an analysis sensor (20) without fluid-measuring section (60). The cartridge module has a fluid-reservoir (40,41). The fluid-measuring section is connected with an analyzer.

Abstract:
A gas sensor comprises a cavity (32) for containing a gas, means (16) for generating radiation which is transmitted through the cavity and includes one or more wavelengths which is absorbed in use by a gas to be detected; and a detector (14) for detecting radiation which has passed through the cavity (32). The walls of the cavity (32) are sufficiently reflective to the radiation that the cavity (32) is substantially uniformally illuminated with the radiation.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft Vorrichtungen und Verfahren zum Nachweis von spezifischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Sonden- und Targetmolekülen. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum qualitativen und/oder quantitativen Nachweis von molekularen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Sonden- und Targetmolekülen, umfassend: a) einen Mikroarray mit einem Substrat, auf dem auf Array-Elementen Sondenmoleküle immobilisiert sind, wobei der Mikroarray auf einer ersten Fläche der Vorrichtung angeordnet ist; und b) eine Reaktionskammer, die zwischen der ersten Fläche mit dem darauf angeordneten Mikroarray und einer zweiten Fläche gebildet ist, wobei der Abstand zwischen dem Mikroarray und der zweiten Fläche veränderbar ist.
