Patent number: 9428800Abstract: A system for holding at least one of sample and reagent for analysis. The system includes a pair of parallel covers, at least one of which is light transmissive, of which pair a light transmissive cover forms a top, and of which pair the other forms a bottom. A frame is disposed between the covers to define, in relation to the covers, an interior volume. The frame and the covers are associated with one another to form a case, the case being substantially tight to liquids. A microfluidic array is disposed in the interior volume. The array includes a sheet of material having a pair of opposed surfaces, a thickness, and a plurality of through-holes running through the thickness between the surfaces, the through-holes containing at least one of sample and reagent.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Life Technologies CorporationInventors: John Linton, Arrin Katz, Colin Brenan, Karl Yoder, Robert Hess, Leila Madrone, Robert Ellis, Tanya Kanigan, Kristine Friesen, Thomas Morrison, Javier Garcia

Publication number: 20090062134Abstract: A method of conducting an assay on a plurality of samples is provided. The method includes the steps of performing an assay at each sample site in a sample array having greater than 100 sample sites simultaneously illuminating each sample site using one or more LEDs, and simultaneously imaging each of the sample sites to produce imaging data pertinent to the optical effect of each site. Each assay provides an optical effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2008Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: BIOTROVE, INC.Inventors: John Linton, Karl Yoder, Robert Hess, Leila Hasan, Robert Ellis, Tanya S.

Publication number: 20090062152Abstract: A thermal cycling device and a method of thermal cycling are provided. A thermal cycling device includes a fluid device system, a case, and a cycling head. The fluid delivery system develops a flow of controlled-temperature fluid. The case has a fluid-tight cavity for holding a microfluidic array. The array includes a sheet of material having a pair of opposed surfaces, a thickness, and a plurality of through-holes running through the thickness between the surfaces. The cycling head holds the case and delivers the flow of fluid over the case.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2008Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: BIOTROVE, INC.Inventors: John Linton, Karl Yoder, Robert Hess, Leila Hasan, Robert Ellis, Tanya S.
