  • Luminescence based sensor
    Patent number: 9291558
    Abstract: A sensor comprising a substrate (100) having a first surface (105) and a second surface (110) is described. The first surface has at least one sensor site (115) provided thereon. The substrate is configured such that on excitation of a sample provided at the sensor site, luminescence originating from the sensor site propagates into the substrate, the second surface of the substrate being configured to selectively transmit the luminescence propagating within the substrates at angles greater than the critical angle out of the substrate where it may be detected by a detector (160) provided below the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2016
    Assignees: Dublin City University, Amic AB
    Inventors: Jim Writser Peter Bakker, Ove Ohman, Dirk Kurzbuch, Thomas Ruckstuhl, Brian MacCraith, Stephen O'Driscoll

  • Super critical angle fluorescence scanning system
    Patent number: 8228602
    Abstract: A scanning system that provides for detection based on supercritical angle fluorescence (SAF) is described. The system provides for the optical coupling of a sample to the scanner in a sandwich structure that uses first and second refractive index matching materials to provide optical coupling through the sandwich arrangement.
