    摘要: A system for detecting a plurality of analytes in a sample includes an aperture array and a lens array for generating and focusing a plurality of excitation sub-beams on different sub-regions of a substrate. These sub-regions can be provided with different binding sites for binding different analytes in the sample. By detecting the different luminescent responses in a detector, the presence or amount of different analytes can be determined simultaneously. Alternatively or in addition, collection of the luminescence radiation can be performed using the lens array for directly collecting the luminescence response and for guiding the collected luminescence response to corresponding apertures. The excitation sub-beams may be focused at the side of the substrate opposite of the lens array, and an immersion fluid is provided between the lens array and the substrate to increase the collection efficiency of the luminescence radiation.

    摘要: The invention relates to means for extracting magnetic particles (M) from a sample (S). The sample (S) is arranged adjacent to a liquid carrier (C), which is immiscible with it, in a configuration stable under the influence of gravity, and the magnetic particles (M) are moved by a magnetic field (B) from the sample (S) into the carrier (C). Preferably, the magnetic particles (M) are non-wetting with respect to the carrier (C) and will therefore form agglomerates in the carrier (C).

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of making gas bubbles in a liquid, the bubbles having substantially uniform size suitable for responding to ultrasound or other diagnostic tools. Gas (P2) is forced through one or more pores or nozzles, into the liquid (P1), the nozzles or pores being of substantially uniform diameter, the flow of the gas being controlled to thereby cause the formation of substantially monodisperse gas bubbles in the liquid. Moreover, an apparatus is disclosed for making a suspension of gas bubbles in a liquid of a size suitable for responding to ultrasound or other diagnostic tools. Said apparatus comprises means for forcing a gas through an array of nozzles or pores into the liquid, the nozzles or pores being of substantially uniform diameter, and first means for controlling; a flow parameter of the gas so that gas is suspended as substantially monodisperse gas bubbles in the liquid. Furthermore a kit for preparing a dispersion of gas bubbles of substantially uniform size suitable for ultrasound purposes, is disclosed.

    摘要: A sensor is described for use with at least one optical detector (5), the sensor comprising a substrate (11) with optical outlets, a porous membrane (12) and micro fluidic channels (13) for conducting analyte fluid towards sensing locations (10) of the porous membrane (12). The sensing locations (10) are adapted for at least restraining light variable molecules (23) which bind to analytes to be determined. The optical output of the light variable molecules changes when they are in close proximity to a target molecule. The micro fluidic channels (13) are shaped to reflect light emitted from the sensing locations (10) towards the optical outlets and the substrate has diffracting optical elements (15) aligned with microfluidic channels to diffract light towards the optical outlets. The diffracting optical elements can be lenses.
