  • Method for automated detection of antibodies in a liquid biological sample using an antigen chip, and antigen chip therefor
    Patent number: 11305289
    Abstract: A method is useful for automated detection of antibodies in a liquid biological sample with an antigen chip having antigen spots which are applied thereon and which have an identical, common dye. The antigen spots form respective antigen spot sets which form corresponding respective, regular antigen spot patterns. Furthermore, reference spots comprising the identical dye are applied, and form a reference spot set which forms a regular reference pattern. The reference pattern differs with respect to its regularity from the antigen spot patterns. Through a first image information item which represents a color of the reference spots and of the antigen spots due to the identical, first dye and through a second image information item which represents a potential color of the antigen spots due to a second dye after an incubation, binding of antibodies of the biological sample to respective antigen types is then determined by image processing.

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANTIBODY DETECTION
    Publication number: 20200011862
    Abstract: An antigen chip is described, the latter comprising a plane substrate surface; and antigen spots, which are applied in a predetermined pattern on the substrate surface and which contain a first fluorescence dye. Further, an apparatus and a method for detecting antibodies in a sample are provided. Even further, the application relates to kit for use in a method for detecting antibodies in a sample.
