  • Publication number: 20220390895
    Abstract: A method and system for performing incoherent color holographic microscopy imaging using light of various wavelengths, including modulating radiation at each wavelength to form two beams and detecting their intensity at a detector. The two beams include phase information that is retrieved from the phase shifted intensity recorded at the detector and holographic information is determined from the detected modulation of the two beams for each color. A processor is configured to receive the holographic information via a signal generated by the detector and the processor further generates a three-dimensional image of a target.

  • Patent number: 9581602
    Abstract: A method of selecting a monoclonal cell colony that secretes a product of interest providing a plurality of cell culture spaces; each cell culture space has a respective assessment surface with a first binding agent immobilized on the assessment surface. The cells are incubated in a growth medium in the cell culture spaces for replication of the cells. At least some of the cells secrete a product of interest. A second binding agent is provided in the cell culture spaces. Initially, the second binding agent is not immobilized. Each of the first and second binding agents binds to the product of interest so that secretion of the product of interest by cells in any one of the cell culture spaces leads to a complex with the first binding agent, the product of interest and the second binding agent forming at the corresponding assessment surface of the cell culture space.

  • Publication number: 20150268249
    Abstract: A method of selecting a monoclonal cell colony that secretes a product of interest providing a plurality of cell culture spaces; each cell culture space has a respective assessment surface with a first binding agent immobilised on the assessment surface. The cells are incubated in a growth medium in the cell culture spaces for replication of the cells. At least some of the cells secrete a product of interest. A second binding agent is provided in the cell culture spaces. Initially, the second binding agent is not immobilised. Each of the first and second binding agents binds to the product of interest so that secretion of the product of interest by cells in any one of the cell culture spaces leads to a complex with the first binding agent, the product of interest and the second binding agent forming at the corresponding assessment surface of the cell culture space.
