Abstract
Method and apparatus for detecting biomolecular interactions. The use of labels is not required and the methods may be performed in a high-throughput manner. An apparatus for detecting biochemical interactions occurring on the surface of a biosensor includes a light source. A first optical fiber is coupled to the light source and illuminates the biosensor. A second optical fiber detects a wavelength reflected from the biosensor. A spectrometer determines spectra of a reflected signal from the biosensor.
Claims7
A biosensor imaging system comprising:
- a light source generating white light;
- a collimator for collimating said white light, said collimated light being directed onto a surface of a biosensor;
- an imaging spectrometer receiving reflected light from said biosensor, and
- software calculating a peak wavelength value (PWV) of said reflected light.
