  • Apparatus and methods for infrared calorimetric measurements
    Patent number: 6835574
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for performing calorimetry. The apparatus include optical devices for detecting thermal processes and multiwell sample plates for supporting samples for use with such optical devices. The methods include measurement strategies and data processing techniques for reducing noise in measurements of thermal processes. The apparatus and methods may be particularly suitable for extracting thermal data from small differential measurements made using an infrared camera and for monitoring chemical and physiological processes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2004
    Assignee: FLIR Systems Boston, Inc.
    Inventors: Andy C. Neilson, Michael R. Sweeney, James D. Orrell, III, Michael W. Oster, John M. Hopkins, Marc Samson
