  • Horizontal surface plasmon resonance instrument with improved light path
    Patent number: 7265844
    Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance imaging apparatus provides an improved optical assembly allowing fixed source and detector operating with a horizontal test surface for a more compact design. In a preferred embodiment, a mechanical linkage of planar mirrors provides a single point adjustment of angle of incidence and angle of refraction while maintaining a constant optical axis of the source and detector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2007
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Eric P. Codner, Robert M. Corn
  • Portable surface plasmon resonance imaging instrument
    Patent number: 7148968
    Abstract: A surface plasmon resonant device provides practical portable operation through the use of a low power high efficiency LED source and a high-efficiency prism sample cell pre-loaded with probe molecules and sealed for field use. A simple mechanical control allows adjustment of angulation of the light and camera for accurate response outside of the laboratory.
