Abstract: A micro-lab includes one or more electrophoresis devices each optically coupled to respective spectrometers and electronic signal processing, analysis and control, with fluids transported via a system of valves, tubes and pumps. The spectrograms are captured by a respective digital cameras, and chemical characteristics including molecular mobility, particle (molecular) charge, molecular weight, particle (molecular) pH, particle (molecular) dielectric, particle (molecular) conductivity, Raman spectrum of each chemical species, IR spectrum of particle (molecular) is determined, and principal component analysis is performed to identify and quantify chemical constituents.

Abstract: A spectrometer includes a spectrogram, digital camera and signal processing to compensate for limits of system spatial resolution, spatial distortions and lack of precision spatial registration, limited dynamic range, The spectrogram is captured by a digital camera, and the corresponding image is converted to a wavelength and magnitude with mitigation of optical point spread function and potential magnitude clipping due to over-exposure. The clipped portions of the signal are reconstructed using tangential adjacent point spread functions as a reference or adjacent channel ratios as reference. Multichannel camera detectors having unique response magnitude ratios per wavelength are exploited to make associated direct mappings, thereby making improvements in wavelength resolution and accuracy to up to at least one to two orders of magnitude.
