    摘要: A luminescence detecting apparatus and method for analyzing luminescent samples is disclosed. Luminescent samples are placed in a plurality of sample wells in a tray, and the tray is placed in a visible-light impervious chamber containing a charge coupled device camera. The samples may be injected in the wells, and the samples may be injected with buffers and reagents, by an injector. In the chamber, light from the luminescent samples pass through a collimator, a Fresnel field lens, a filter, and a camera lens, whereupon a focused image is created by the optics on the charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The use of a Fresnel field lens, in combination with a collimator and filter, reduces crosstalk between samples below the level attainable by the prior art. Preferred embodiments of the luminescence detecting apparatus and method disclosed include central processing control of all operations, multiple wavelength filter wheel, and robot handling of samples and reagents. Preferred embodiments of processing software integrated with the invention include elements for mechanical alignment, outlier shaving, edge detection and masking, manipulation of multiple integration times to expand the dynamic range, crosstalk correction, dark subtraction interpolation and drift correction, multi-component analysis applications specifically tailored for luminescence, and uniformity correction.

    摘要: A method for calculating a sample size for a clinical trial of a first treatment can be provided. The method can include reading a survival curve from a clinical trial for a second treatment, wherein the clinical trial may be selected by a user interacting with a user interface. The method can further include selecting a plurality of points on the survival curve and storing coordinates for each of the plurality of points, wherein the plurality of points are selected so as to capture substantial features of the survival curve. Then, a hazard curve is generated based on the coordinates that were stored, wherein the hazard curve may be a step function. The method can further include calculating a sample size for the clinical trial of the first treatment using a Markov model based on the hazard curve.
