    Abstract: The present invention provides a microarray having a plurality of micro-locations for confining selected photophores, for example, biological molecules exhibiting fluorescence spectra. The microarray can further include an array of optoelectronic photodetectors each of which is optically coupled with at least one of the micro-locations to detect radiation, for example, fluorescence radiation, that is emitted from the photophores confined in that micro-location. Each photodetector includes a resonant cavity that is formed of a front reflector and/or a back reflector having distributed Bragg reflector structures and a photo-detecting element disposed in the resonant cavity. The microarray can utilize either external optical excitation sources, such as lasers, LEDs, or can contain its own excitation sources in an integrated structure containing both optical radiation emitters, such as, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers or resonant cavity LEDs, and resonant cavity photodetectors. The integrated emitters and detectors can be either coaxially or adjacently located. Further, the microarray can include either separate sample array and excitation/detector array plates, or a single sample/excitation/detector array plate in which the photophore-containing sample molecules can be deposited directly on the excitation/detector array.

    Abstract: A method for identifying the presence or absence of an aggregation of particles distributed on a translucent surface includes the steps of providing a light sensing device for sensing light incident thereon and producing an output value which represents the intensity of the incident light, and identifying a first output value which is produced by the light sensing device when there is no light incident thereon. The method also identifies a second output value which is produced by the light sensing means when, with no particles present on the translucent surface, light is directed through the translucent surface onto the light sensing device. With a distribution of particles deposited on the translucent surface, light is directed through the translucent surface and onto the light sensing device, causing the light sensing device to produce a third output value. A final output value is then determined as a function of said first, second and third output values.

    Abstract: An analytic instrument for kinetically measuring light absorption characteristics of a plurality of independent samples contained in disposable test tubes arranged in a circular pattern about a single light source. The instrument is designed to be used with a host personal computer and is not specific to any particular type of assay. The instrument obtains and temporarily stores raw data in the form of digitized output signals from the plurality of photodetectors and periodically passes them to the host computer. An incubator has test tube wells arranged in a circular array equidistant from a single incandescent light source. The circular symmetry controls the thermal gradients in the incubator such that all of the samples are disposed on the same isotherm and all of the photodetectors are disposed on the same isotherm. The instrument is designed for use with disposable test tubes, and sources of error arising from optical variation in such test tubes are minimized by providing a separate detector for each tube and by holding the tube fixed with respect to the detector. The light output from the single light source is continuously monitored and is kept constant.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide microfluidic devices and methods for their use. The microfluidic device can include an array of M×N reaction sites formed by intersecting a first and second plurality of fluid channels of a flow layer. The flow layer can have a matrix design and/or a blind channel design to analyze a large number of samples under a limited number of conditions. The microfluidic device can also include a control layer including a valve system for regulating solution flow through fluid channels. In addition, by aligning the control layer with the fluid channels, the detection of the microfluidic devices, e.g., optical signal collection, can be improved by piping lights to/from the reaction sites. In an exemplary embodiment, guard channels can be included in the microfluidic device for thermal cycling and/or reducing evaporation from the reaction sites.
