Abstract
A system for use in spectral analysis procedures can include a slide and a holder for carrying the slide. The slide includes a substrate forming a plurality of wells that are recessed relative to a surface of the substrate. Each of the wells forms a sample region that is recessed by a sample depth from the surface and a trough region that is recessed by a trough depth from the surface, the trough depth being greater than the sample depth. The holder includes a body defining a cavity between a first side and a second side of the body, a port for receiving the slide into the cavity, one or more first fenestrations on the first side, and one or more second fenestrations on the second side.
Claims28
A system comprising
- a slide comprising:
- a substrate forming a plurality of wells that are recessed relative to a surface of the substrate;
- a holder, comprising:
- a body defining a cavity between a first side and a second side of the body;
- a port for receiving the slide into the cavity;
- one or more first fenestrations on the first side;
- and
- one or more second fenestrations on the second side.
A method comprising:
- providing samples to each of a plurality of wells formed in a slide, each of the wells being recessed relative to a surface of the slide;
- enclosing the wells by applying a cover to the surface of the slide;
- inserting the slide and the cover into a cavity of a holder;
- and
- emitting electromagnetic radiation through one or more first fenestrations of the holder, one or more second fenestrations of the holder, and the sample.
