Publication number: 20230314422Abstract: A method can include measuring increments in a response signal in multiple sample injection sessions in a sensing channel until the response signal reaches a threshold response capacity. Measuring the increments can include: (a) starting a respective sample injection session of the multiple sample injection sessions by injecting a sample with an analyte to the sensing channel; (b) controlling the valve port to terminate the respective sample injection session; (c) measuring the response signal based on a reaction between the sample and the ligand; and/or (d) upon determining that the response signal is not greater than the threshold response capacity, determining a respective response increment of the increments for the respective sample injection session, and starting a subsequent session of the multiple sample injection sessions for determining a subsequent increment of the increments. The method further can include determining an analyte concentration of the sample based at least in part on the increments.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: Biosensing Instrument Inc.Inventors: Nguyen Ly, Tianwei Jing, Feimeng Zhou

Patent number: 11327014Abstract: A system in an embodiment can comprise an optical assembly, an surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) light source, and an SPR camera. The optical assembly can comprise a hemispherical prism comprising a top surface configured to support a SPR sensor; and a high numerical aperture (NA) lens located distal from the top surface of the hemispherical prism. The SPR light source can be configured to emit a light beam for SPR imaging. The SPR camera can be configured to capture an SPR image. The SPR sensor further can comprise a surface configured to contact a sample. The high NA lens can be configured to refract the light beam toward the hemispherical prism.

Publication number: 20190302110Abstract: A novel validation method for binding kinetic analysis with a surface plasmonic apparatus is disclosed. The method includes a new approach to quickly validate the fidelity of the measured data and facilitate an accurate binding kinetic analysis of biomolecular interaction. It utilizes multiple sensing surface areas to immobilize different amounts of a ligand, followed by an injection of analyte solution through either all of the sensing surface areas or predetermined zones. The binding data between analyte and ligand are checked against pseudo-first order binding kinetics of bimolecular reactions, and, with the proper validation of the data, the binding kinetics of the interaction can be determined with high degree of accuracy without many measurements of other analyte concentrations and repeated regeneration of the sensor surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2018Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventors: Nguyen Ly, Tianwei Jing, Feimeng Zhou
