Abstract
The invention relates to a microfluidic system and method of processing biological samples in microfluidic system comprising the steps of the steps of positioning at least one detection chamber adapted for receiving particles, said particles comprising a reference label and reporter label, wherein the labels exhibit different wavelength properties when irradiated with light; and normalising the particle reporter label by using any detected magnitude in the measured properties of the reference label.
Claims16
A microfluidic system for processing biological samples comprising:
- a platform coupled to a rotary motor and adapted to provide at least one detection chamber for receiving particles, said particles comprising a reference label and reporter label, wherein the labels exhibit different wavelength properties when irradiated with light;
- and
- means for normalising the particle reporter label in the detection chamber by using any detected variance in the measured properties of the reference label.
