Abstract: A fluorescence detection system, including apparatus and methods, suitable for qPCR and other fluorescence-based analyses. The system may comprise various components, including a stage, an illumination module, a detection module, and an optical relay structure. The stage may be configured to support a sample holder. The illumination module may include one or more discrete light sources configured to produce excitation light. The detection module may be configured to detect fluorescence emission light produced, in response to the excitation light, by a fluorescent sample positioned in the sample holder. The optical relay structure may include a beamsplitter assembly configured to direct the excitation light from the illumination module along an illumination path to the sample holder and to direct the fluorescence emission light from the sample holder along a response path to the imaging module. The system may enhance the quality of excitation light hitting samples in the sample holder.

Abstract: An electrophoresis apparatus with minimal autofluorescence to enable gel processing in situ, and methods of making and using the electrophoresis apparatus. An exemplary electrophoresis apparatus may comprise a cassette defining a cavity between a first pane and a second pane of a double-paned viewing window, and also may comprise a slab gel located in the cavity. The viewing window may be transparent to ultraviolet light that drives a derivatization reaction in the slab gel, and, absent the slab gel, may define a window autofluorescence inducible by irradiation with the ultraviolet light. The window autofluorescence, per unit area, may be less than five-fold a gel autofluorescence of the slab gel, per the same unit area and under the same irradiation with the ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Analyte arrays such as solutes in a slab-shaped gel following electrophoresis, and particularly arrays that are in excess of 3 cm square and up to 25 cm square and higher, are imaged at distances of 5 cm or less by either forming sub-images of the entire array and stitching together the sub-images by computer-based stitching technology, or by using an array of thin-film photoresponsive elements that is coextensive with the analyte array to form a single image of the array.

Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and kits for contact imaging are provided. A contact imaging device includes an imaging sensor, a fixed fiber faceplate mechanically coupled to the imaging sensor, and an optical filtering layer mechanically coupled to the fixed fiber faceplate. The optical filtering layer can include an interference filter, an absorptive filter, and/or a removable fiber faceplate. The contact imaging device can be used to image fluorescent samples by filtering out excitation light on the basis of wavelength and/or angle of incidence.
