Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING SAMPLE AND FOR MONITORING PERFORMANCE OF OPTICAL SIGNAL DETECTOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022093423
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a system and a method for analyzing a sample, for example, a biological sample, and for monitoring the performance of an optical signal detector, for example, a fluorometer.SOLUTION: A system for measuring the performance of an optical signal detector includes an optical signal detector comprising a first detection channel having a first light source and a first sensor. The first detection channel is configured to emit and focus light generated by the first light source at a first detection region, and to receive and focus light on the first sensor. The system also includes a controller operatively coupled to the optical signal detector and configured to determine an operational performance status of the optical signal detector based on at least one of (i) a first measured characteristic of light focused on the sensor while a first non-fluorescent surface portion is in the first detection region and (ii) a second measured characteristic of light focused on the sensor while a void is in the first detection region.SELECTED DRAWING: None
