  • OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE REACTIONS
    Publication number: 20150226672
    Abstract: Optical systems, and corresponding methods, for multiple reactions are provided. The optical systems are in a fixed position relative to a thermal assembly and include at least one array of excitation sources (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs)) configured to output excitation energy along an excitation optical path. In addition, a detector configured to receive emission energy along a detection optical path in the same plane as the excitation optical path is also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 12, 2015
    Publication date: August 13, 2015
    Applicant: PCR MAX LIMITED
    Inventors: Adrian Fawcett, David Tracy, Kevin Daley Simmons

  • Devices and methods for visualization of a sample in a microplate
    Patent number: 8035811
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a microplate comprising a plurality of wells and methods and systems comprising such microplates, wherein an individual well comprises an opaque or non-transparent surface at or near the bottom of the well. The microplates herein can provide improved visualization of the process of filling a well with a liquid reagent. The microplates can be configured to perform chemical analysis, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or nucleic acid detection.
