  • Device and method for irradiating a sample with focused acoustic energy including a fully solid coupler
    Patent number: 8563324
    Abstract: A device for receiving a sample carrier is provided. The device includes an opening for receiving part of the sample carrier and a cutter for removing a part of the sample carrier. The cutter is coupled to a lid, which is movable to allow the cutter to make an incision in the sample carrier and, at the same time, to close at least part of the opening left open after receipt of the sample carrier. The disclosure further relates to a system comprising such a device and a method for operating such a device.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD FOR DETECTING REDISPERSION OF BEADS
    Publication number: 20100309472
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of detecting the redispersion of particles into a solution by means of FTIR or other optical detection methods comprising the following steps: providing a sensor surface with dry particles; illuminating the sensor surface with light along a first optical path and detecting the light reflected by the sensor surface; providing a liquid to a volume in contact with the sensor surface; and detecting the reflected light while the dryparticles redisperse into the liquid. Therein, the angle between first optical path and sensor surface fulfils the condition of total internal reflection. The present invention also provides an FTIR cartridge for use in said method comprising a sensor surface accessible for FTIR detection, said sensor surface comprising at least one binding area, wherein label particles are situated on said surface.
