Abstract: A spectral reflectance imaging device for detecting nanoparticle exosome biomarker targets includes an illumination source that illuminates a substrate with a plurality of separate wavelengths of incoherent light. The substrate includes an oxide layer and a binding agent to selectively bind nanoparticle exosome biomarker targets to the substrate. An imaging device bindings the light reflected from or transmitted through the substrate and an image processing system detects the nanoparticle exosome biomarker targets a function of the change in reflective properties of the substrate.
Abstract: A system for analyzing one or more liquid samples includes a microwell plate including a plurality of rows of wells configured to store liquid samples, a sensor array that is moveable relative to the microwell plate along a first axis between a first position and a second position to allow a portion of the sensor array to be disposed within a first one of the plurality of rows of wells when the sensor array is in the second position, an objective, and one or more linear translation stages configured to move the microwell plate relative to the objective (i) along a second axis that is orthogonal to the first axis, (ii) along a third axis that is orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).
