  • Patent number: 6821787
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for performing calorimetry. The apparatus include optical devices for detecting thermal processes and multiwell sample plates for supporting samples for use with such optical devices. The methods include measurement strategies and data processing techniques for reducing noise in measurements of thermal processes. The apparatus and methods may be particularly suitable for extracting thermal data from small differential measurements made using an infrared camera and for monitoring chemical and physiological processes.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040107986
    Abstract: A system is provided to enable high throughput parallel processing of multiple samples for drug screening methods and other analytical methods. Disposable wellplates cooperate with external sensor arrays to eliminate the laborious task of cleaning and sterilizing contaminated system components. The wellplates can use conventional or custom array formats, and are adapted and configured to be well suited for high throughput automated analytical screening processes.
