  • METHOD FOR DETECTION OF BACTERIA IN FAECES
    Publication number: 20220252515
    Abstract: A method of detecting fluorescence from bacteria suitable for determining the presence of faeces or other fluorophores, the method comprising the steps of: illuminating a target with fluorescence excitation light having an excitation wavelength and monitoring for the emission of fluorescence light from the target at wavelengths longer than the excitation wavelength.

  • Method of detecting objects
    Patent number: 9546993
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for detecting objects in samples. The sample is held in the transmission path of light source to a detector, whereby light from the light source interacts with objects in the sample. The patterns of light incident on the detector subsequent to its interaction with the objects are directly used to determine the presence of objects in the sample.
    Type: Grant

  • Measuring the concentration of a substance
    Patent number: 6531097
    Abstract: A system for measuring the concentration of an assay substance comprising a sensor having an optical fiber (10) on one end of which is coated a body (22). A fluorophor is dispersed within the body (22), the fluorescent activity of which is altered in relationship to the concentration of the assay substance. Light from a source such as an LED (40) is carried by the fiber (10) to the body (22). Light emitted by the fluorophor is carried to a detector unit (54) along the fiber (10). Concentration of the assay substance is determined by measurement of the characteristics of the growth in emitted light following activation of the LED (40).
