Title:
保持用トレーのスルーホールウェルの中で溶液中に保持されたサンプルの光学的検出を増幅するための方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005521063
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A system and method for optically detecting samples held in a solution requires the use of a holding plate that has as many as one-thousand through-hole wells, or more. The solution is suspended in these through-hole wells under surface tension between opposed surfaces of the holding plate. A pneumatic pump is then engaged with the plate to establish a differential pressure (Deltap) between the upper and lower surfaces of the solution that is equal to approximately two tenths of a pound per square inch (0.2 psi). The result is the formation of a convex meniscus on a surface of the solution that causes light passing into the solution to converge and concentrate. This concentration of light, in turn, facilitates optical detection of samples in the solution.
