Abstract
Devices and methods for measuring the quantity of multiple analytes in a sample can include a device designed such that each of the analyte sensing elements is configured to measure the quantity of a predetermined analyte and machine executable instructions configured to select the proper analyte sensing element corresponding to the analyte to be measured.
Claims17
A method of analyzing a sample to detect multiple analytes within a single reaction volume, the method comprising:
- a) providing a sample having or suspected as having a first analyte, a second analyte, or both;
- b) contacting the sample with a first reporter molecule configured to associate with the first analyte and a second reporter molecule configured to associate with the second analyte, the first and second reporter molecules having different emission spectra;
- c) exposing the reaction volume to excitation light within a first wavelength range to cause the first reporter molecule to emit light;
- d) measuring emission light emanating from the first reporter molecule to thereby detect the presence or absence of the first analyte;
- e) exposing the reaction volume to excitation light within a second wavelength range to cause the second reporter molecule to emit light;
- and
- f) measuring emission light emanating from the second reporter molecule to thereby detect the presence or absence of the second analyte,
- wherein the excitation light within a first wavelength range and the excitation light within a second wavelength range are provided by different energy sources.
