Publication number: 20150102025Abstract: A heating apparatus comprising a support base and a microplate having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The microplate is positioned adjacent the support base and comprises a plurality of wells formed in the first surface thereof. Each of the plurality of wells is sized to receive an assay therein. A sapphire crystalline transparent window is positioned adjacent the microplate opposing the support base. A heating device heats the transparent window in response to a control system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2014Publication date: April 16, 2015Inventors: Kirk M. HIRANO, Patrick Kinney, Douwe Haga, Jason Babcoke, Albert Carrillo, H. Pin Kao, James Nurse

Publication number: 20070263209Abstract: An apparatus for imaging an array of a plurality of features associated with a sample tile. The apparatus includes a stage that supports the sample tile in an illumination region, and an illumination source having a plurality of LEDs adapted to emit light. At least a portion of the light illuminates the illumination region. Additionally, the apparatus includes an image collecting device adapted to selectively collect images of a signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2007Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: Mark Oldham, Howard King, Douwe Haga, Tracy Ferea

Publication number: 20070030677Abstract: An apparatus for imaging an array of a plurality of features associated with a sample tile. The apparatus includes a stage that supports the sample tile in an illumination region, and an illumination source having a plurality of LEDs adapted to emit light. At least a portion of the light illuminates the illumination region. Additionally, the apparatus includes an image collecting device adapted to selectively collect images of either a first signal when the illumination source is illuminating the illumination region, or a second signal absent illumination of the illumination region. The first signal has wavelengths effectively different from the wavelengths of the portion of the light emitted by the LEDs that illuminates the illumination region.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2006Publication date: February 8, 2007Inventors: Mark Oldham, Howard King, Douwe Haga, Tracy Ferea
