Abstract: A system for performing high-speed, high-resolution imaging cytometry utilizes a line-scan sensor. A cell to be characterized is transported past a scan region. An optical system focuses an image of a portion of the scan region onto at least one linear light sensor, and repeated readings of light falling on the sensor are taken while a cell is transported though the scan region. The system may image cells directly, or may excite fluorescence in the cells and image the resulting light emitted from the cell by fluorescence. The system may provide a narrow band of illumination at the scan region. The system may include various filters and imaging optics that enable simultaneous multicolor fluorescence imaging cytometry. Multiple linear sensors may be provided, and images gathered by the individual sensors may be combined to construct an image having improved signal-to-noise characteristics.

Abstract: A photometric device (18) for quantifying a nucleic acid in a sample (518) in a tube (58), comprises a light emission unit (28), a sample obtaining unit (38) for holding the tube (58) with the nucleic acid sample (518) and a detection unit (48) wherein the sample obtaining unit (38) is arranged in between the light emission unit (28) and the detection unit (48) in particular, the light emission unit (28) and the detection unit (48) are arranged to provide light through the sample obtaining unit (38) such that light of a first wavelength of about 230 nanometers and light of a second wavelength of about 260 nanometers are simultaneously detectable within the detection unit (48). The photometric device (18) allows for efficiently analysing the nucleic acid sample by only considering invisible light. In particular, content of nucleic acid such as particularly a RNA or a DNA and a nucleic acid/salt ratio can simultaneously be determined such that efficiency of quantification of the nucleic acid sample (518) can be increased. Furthermore, since in addition thereto the sample obtaining unit (38) is arranged to hold the tube (58) or cuvette and the light directly passes the sample (518) being arranged in the tube (58) or cuvette, loss of sample, contamination of sample, need of additional sample treatment equipment such as pipettes or additional tubes as well as frequent cleaning of optics of the photometric device can be printed or reduced.
