    摘要: Automated methods and systems for determining an in-focus-distance for a position on the surface of a molecular array substrate using a molecular array scanner are provided. A signal from a first position of an array substrate is detected and noise is filtered out of the detected signal using a symmetrical filter to produce an in-focus-distance. In one embodiment, the in-focus-distance is utilized as an estimated in-focus-distance at a second position of the array substrate. The method finds use in maintaining the focus of a light source while scanning the array by the scanner. Also provided are methods of assaying a sample using the methods and systems of the invention, and kits for performing the invention. The subject invention finds use in a variety of different applications, including both genomics and proteomics applications.

    摘要: A method and system for determining a biopolymer array substrate thickness dependent optimal focus distance for scanning a molecular array by a molecular array scanner are provided. A reference substrate is automatically scanned at successively greater distances of the stage from a light gathering medium, such as an optical fiber, or z-positions, to produce data providing a functional relationship between z-position and measured signal intensities. The data is then processed by an array substrate thickness dependent focus-finding routine that selects an optimal focus-distance for data scans which is optimized for the thickness of the reference substrate. Also provided are methods of determining the thickness of a biopolymer array substrate using a position sensitive device (PSD) component of a biopolymer array scanner. Further methods include determining the thickness of said biopolymeric array and automatically selecting an optimal focus distance using the determined thickness and a calibration function on thickness versus optimal focus distance. The subject invention finds use in a variety of different applications, including both genomic and proteomic applications.
