Publication number: 20230375467Abstract: A system may include a light source, to generate a probe signal, comprising incident radiation; an optical probe, to direct the incident radiation through a fluid sample; a motor, to move the optical probe along a probe axis, to change a path length of the incident radiation through the fluid sample; and a detector, to receive the incident radiation as attenuated radiation after passing through the fluid sample. The system may include a control system, arranged to: initiate an absorbance measurement by directing movement of the optical probe along the probe axis; direct the light source to emit the incident radiation; and automatically adjust at least one measurement parameter of a set of measurement parameters for the sample measurement, based upon a slope parameter m, wherein m is derived from a rate of change in an intensity of the attenuated radiation with a change in the path length.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Repligen CorporationInventors: Matthew Muller, Richard Hall, III, Yusheng Zhang, Peter Halatin

Publication number: 20230375468Abstract: An apparatus may include a light emitting diode (LED) assembly, comprising a plurality of LEDs that output radiation at a plurality of different wavelengths, respectively. The LED assembly may be arranged to output a composite probe signal at a plurality of instances, wherein the composite probe signal comprises a plurality of probe signals, generated from the plurality of LEDs, respectively. The apparatus may also include a measurement module that includes an optic probe to direct the composite probe signal through a fluid sample, while moving between a plurality of probe positions at the plurality of instances. The measurement module may include a detector, disposed to detect, at the plurality of instances, a transmitted intensity of the composite probe signal at the plurality of different wavelengths after the composite probe signal passes through the fluid sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Repligen CorporationInventors: Matthew Muller, Richard Hall, III, Yusheng Zhang, Peter Halatin

Publication number: 20220187125Abstract: A system for determining a characteristic of a sample includes a light source for directing light into an input of a spectrometer. The spectrometer splits the received light into light outputs each having a different wavelength. An active wavelength selection module (AWSM) includes an optical receiving component (ORC). An actuator is coupled to the spectrometer and/or the ORC to adjust a relative position between the spectrometer and the AWSM so that light is receivable by the ORC from a selected one of the plurality of light outputs. The ORC is configured to direct the received light to a sample. A collector is positioned to collect a portion of light that passes through the sample, and to deliver the collected light to an analysis module. The analysis module is configured to determine a quantity of light transmitted through the sample and to correlate transmitted light with a characteristic of the sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: June 16, 2022Applicant: C Technologies Inc.Inventors: I-Tsung Shih, Mark Salerno, Matthew Muller, Yusheng Zhang, Peter Halatin, Vladimir Gorbunov

Patent number: 7224462Abstract: The invention relates to a surface plasmon resonance system method. The system has at least one light source operable to generate a source beam, a prism having a rear surface at least partially coated with a metallic coating and optionally a dielectric layer. At least one layer under test is positioned on the rear surface of the prism. The source beam is directed at the layer under test thereby defining an angle between the source beam and the rear surface of the prism. A detector is operable to detect light that is reflected or scattered by the layer under test. The source beam is directed towards the layer under test at a selected angle. The source beam is also shifted in at least one plane to illuminate a specific portion of the layer under test based on the selected relative angle and the position of the layer under test on the rear surface of the prism. The rear surface of the prism can be illuminated in one-dimensional or two-dimensional array like fashion.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Wyatt Technology CorporationInventors: David Anafi, Glen Ramsay, Jeff MacDonald, Peter Halatin, Charlie Schwartz
