Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods for the detection and monitoring of a condition in a subject using highly sensitive detection of molecules. The invention provides a method for detecting or monitoring a condition in a subject, comprising detecting a first marker in a first sample from the subject and detecting a second marker, wherein the first marker comprises a biomarker, e.g., Cardiac Troponin-I (cTnl) or Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and wherein the limit of detection of the first marker is less than about 10 pg/ml. The second marker can be a biomarker, physiological marker, a molecular marker or a genetic marker.
Abstract:
An analyzer for the detection of single molecules or molecular complexes uses electromagnetic radiation translated through the sample to detect the presence of absence of a molecule with zero carryover between samples.
Abstract:
A single molecule analyzer uses electromagnetic radiation incident upon a sample container to form an interrogation space in the sample, wherein the container is translated such that the interrogation space is moveable through the sample to detect the presence or absence of a single molecule. A detector detects radiation emitted from molecules present in the interrogation space. A microscope objective in the beam path is used wherein the depth of field of the objective and the lateral extent of a radiation beam or the diameter of an aperture imaged to the objective focus together define the interrogation space. The analyzer is useful for diagnostics because the analyzer detects single molecules with zero carryover between samples.
Abstract:
The invention encompasses analyzers and analyzer systems that include a single molecule analyzer, methods of using the analyzer and analyzer systems to analyze samples, either for single molecules or for molecular complexes. The single molecule uses electromagnetic radiation that is translated through the sample to detect the presence or absence of a single molecule. The single molecule analyzer provided herein is useful for diagnostics because the analyzer detects single molecules with zero carryover between samples.
