Abstract
The present invention relates to novel systems, devices, and methods comprising spatial light modulators for use in the reading and synthesis of microarrays. For example, the present invention provides micromirror systems for synthesizing and acquiring data from nucleic acid microarrays and systems for collecting, processing, and analyzing data obtained from a microarray.
Claims15
A device comprising a spatial light modulator and detector configured to optically interrogate selected sites on a microarray, wherein said device, in a first mode, is configured to synthesize biomolecules at said selected sites using energy directed at said selected sites by said spatial light modulator and in a second mode, is configured to detect biological interactions at said selected sites, wherein said detector detects light that results from light being directed at said selected sites by said spatial light modulator.
