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.

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 instrument system for detecting a biochemical interaction on a biosensor. The system includes an array of detection locations comprises a light source for generating collimated white light. A beam splitter directs the collimated white light towards a surface of a sensor corresponding to the detector locations. A detection system includes an imaging spectrometer receiving the reflected light and generating an image of the reflected light.

Abstract: A biosensor is described having the form of a photonic crystal having defect cavities formed in a periodic pattern in the device. The invention provides a higher sensitivity and a greater degree of spatial localization of incoupled photons than previously reported photonic crystal biosensor devices.
Abstract: The invention provides methods for the detection, quantification, identification and structural analysis of one or more molecules. Mass spectrometry (MS) is not a universal detector as all molecules do not ionize equally well leading to poor signal to quantity information. MS can be optimized to identify the specific mass of a binding component when the presence of a material is known. Colorimetric resonant reflectance optical sensors provide a universal mass detector in that nearly all biological masses give equally proportional signals. The combined methods allow selection and or detection with quantification of all masses binding to the sensor with the ability to identify specific molecules by their individual masses and structure analyses.
