    摘要: One embodiment relates to an analyzer having an interferometer, a detector and a microprocessor, wherein the analyzer does not contain a spectrometer having a dispersive grating, the interferometer is to create a phase shift in an original spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted from a sample and Fourier transform the original spectrum to a Fourier transform spectrum, the detector is to detect a characteristic of the Fourier transform spectrum, and the microprocessor comprises software or a hardware to inverse transform the Fourier transform spectrum and reproduce the original spectrum. Another embodiment relates to a Raman analyzer having an interferometer, wherein the Raman analyzer contains no dispersive grating or moving parts and has an ability to analyze a Raman signal. The embodiments of the invention could be used for analyzing a sample by striking a laser to the sample and examining the spectrum of the emitted electromagnetic radiation from the sample.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for assaying cell samples, which may be living cells, using probes labeled with composite organic-inorganic nanoparticles (COINs) and microspheres with COINs embedded within a polymer matrix to which the probe moiety is attached. COINs intrinsically produce SERS signals upon laser irradiation, making COIN-labeled probes particularly suitable in a variety of methods for assaying cells, including biological molecules that may be contained on or within cells, most of which are not inherently Raman-active. The invention provides variations of the sandwich immunoassay employing both specific and degenerate binding, methods for reverse phase assay of tissue samples and cell microstructures, in solution displacement and competition assays, and the like. Systems and chips useful for practicing the invention assays are also provided.

    摘要: The present disclosure concerns methods for producing and/or using molecular barcodes. In certain embodiments of the invention, the barcodes comprise polymer backbones that may contain one or more branch structures. Tags may be attached to the backbone and/or branch structures. The barcode may also comprise a probe that can bind to a target, such as proteins, nucleic acids and other biomolecules or aggregates. Different barcodes may be distinguished by the type and location of the tags. In other embodiments, barcodes may be produced by hybridization of one or more tagged oligonucleotides to a template, comprising a container section and a probe section. The tagged oligonucleotides may be designed as modular code sections, to form different barcodes specific for different targets. In alternative embodiments, barcodes may be prepared by polymerization of monomeric units. Bound barcodes may be detected by various imaging modalities, such as, surface plasmon resonance, fluorescent or Raman spectroscopy.

    摘要: The present methods and apparatus concern the detection and/or identification of target analytes using probe molecules. In various embodiments of the invention, the probes or analytes are attached to one or more cantilevers. Binding of a probe to an analyte results in deflection of the cantilever, detected by a detection unit. A counterbalancing force may be applied to restore the cantilever to its original position. The counterbalancing force may be magnetic, electrical or radiative. The detection unit and the mechanism generating the counterbalancing force may be operably coupled to an information processing and control unit, such as a computer. The computer may regulate a feedback loop that maintains the cantilever in a fixed position by balancing the deflecting force and the counterbalancing force. The concentration of analytes in a sample may be determined from the magnitude of the counterbalancing force required to maintain the cantilever in a fixed position.

    摘要: The present methods and apparatus concern nucleic acid sequencing by incorporation of nucleotides into nucleic acid strands. The incorporation of nucleotides is detected by changes in the mass and/or surface stress of the structure. In some embodiments of the invention, the structure comprises one or more nanoscale or microscale cantilevers. In certain embodiments of the invention, each different type of nucleotide is distinguishably labeled with a bulky group and each incorporated nucleotide is identified by the changes in mass and/or surface stress of the structure upon incorporation of the nucleotide. In alternative embodiments of the invention only one type of nucleotide is exposed at a time to the nucleic acids. Changes in the properties of the structure may be detected by a variety of methods, such as piezoelectric detection, shifts in resonant frequency of the structure, and/or position sensitive photodetection.
