Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure fluorescence, luminescence and an absorption characteristic of a sample at a plurality of positions in a single sample well of a microplate, by setting an arrangement tool for moving a relative position of a sample-fixing tool and a detector. SOLUTION: A radiation from a light source 105 illuminates a sample 101 through an adjustment section 107 and an optical component 109. A fluorescence and/or a luminescence from the sample 101 forms an image on a detector 111 through an optical component 113 and an adjustment section 115. A second detector 117 is arranged below the sample 101 and used for the measurement of absorption. A fixing tool 103 is connected to a pair of arrangement tools 123 and the arrangement tools 123 allow the sample 101 to move within two orthogonal directions (X, Y) to the light source 105 and detectors 111, 117. A data processor 125 controls the system and is used to store data output from the detectors 111, 117.

Abstract: A scanning head assembly is provided, the scanning head suited for use with instruments that characterize the absorption, fluorescence, and/or luminescence properties of one or more samples contained within a sample plate or microplate. The scanning head assembly is coupled to a pair of scanning mechanisms, thereby allowing the head assembly to be raster scanned along both the x- and y-axis. Although the scanning preferably follows a serpentine pattern, other scan patterns can be utilized. Single or multiple measurements can be made per sample well, multiple measurements either being reported individually or averaged together. Although the scanning head assembly can utilize a variety of configurations, in the preferred embodiment the scanning head assembly has a C-shape with the light source and associated optics mounted in the lower arm of the assembly and the detector and associated optics mounted in the upper arm. Preferably the optics associated with the source include one or more optical filters that regulate the wavelength of light radiating the sample.

Abstract: A scanning head assembly (101) is provided, the scanning head (101) suited f or use with instruments that characterize the absorption, fluorescence, and/or luminescence properties of one or more samples contained within a sample pla te or microplate (109). The scanning head assembly (101) is coupled to a pair o f scanning mechanisms (201, 203), thereby allowing the head assembly (101) to be raster scanned along both the x-axis (119) and y-axis (121). Although the scanning preferably follows a serpentine pattern (501), other scan patterns can be utilized. Single or multiple measurements can be made per sample well (123), multiple measurements either being reported individually or averaged together. Although the scanning head assembly (101) can utilize a variety of configurations, in the preferred embodiment the scanning head assembly (101) has a C-shape with the light source (103) and associated optics mounted in t he lower arm (111) of the assembly (101) and the detector (107) and associated optics mounted in the upper arm (113). Preferably the optics associated with the source (103) include one or more optical filters (413) that regulate the wavelength of light radiating from the sample.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of analyzing samples contained in a microplate is provided. The instrument is capable of measuring fluorescence, luminescence, and/or absorption within multiple locations within a sample well. The instrument is tunable over the excitation and/or detection wavelengths. Neutral density filters are used to extend the sensitivity range of the absorption measuring aspect of the instrument. Due to the wavelength tuning capabilities of the instrument, the spectral dependence of the measured fluorescence, luminescence, and absorption of the materials in question can be analyzed. The combination of a data processor and a look-up table improve the ease of operation of the instrument. Several different formats are available for the output data including creation of a bit map of the sample.
