Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for analysing FluoroSpot assays. The method comprises illuminating a well of an assay plate with at least one excitation light, capturing at least one image of the well, in raw image format, for each excitation light, generating a model of analyte release distribution in the well for each excitation light, and clustering a plurality of co-positioned fluorospots as a multiple secretion fluorospot, wherein the clustering is performed for all generated models, and wherein the clustering determines at least one multiple secretion fluorospot. The generation of the model of analyte release distribution for a given excitation light comprises deconvolving the captured at least one image of the well to estimate a pre-diffusion analyte distribution, and detecting potential analyte release sites based on local maxima therein.
