Abstract: An instrument comprises a semi-circular rail and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is attached to a light source mount and a detector mount, and both the light source mount and the detector mount are attached to the semi-circular rail with connectors. Each connector allows the light source mount and detector mount to slide along the rail. The synchronous movement of the light source mount and the detector mount changes the angle of incidence of a light beam from the light source with respect to the plane of the sample surface on the sample stage. An SPR analysis system includes an SPR analysis system control computer program having a graphical user interface and configured to control the operation of an SPR analysis apparatus. According to an embodiment, an SPR data analysis computer program includes an SPR microarray video viewer and a sensorgram generator responsive to the SPR video.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a flow cell for a surface plasmon resonance test apparatus and a fluid delivery system operatively coupled to the flow cell and configured to deliver a plurality of fluids to the flow cell substantially continuously. The fluid delivery system may include two pumps for pumping the fluids.

Abstract: A method of generating surface plasmon resonance using excitation light directed at a thin metal film by a micromirror is described. A method that uses excitation light directed at a thin metal film by a micromirror scanner device is also described. A surface plasmon resonance imager is described comprising a micromirror that directs light to the surface of a thin metal film. Another method is described, comprising: a) directing light toward a thin metal film using a micromirror and b) detecting dynamic chemical events at or near the surface of the thin metal film. The dynamic events may be, for example, a fluidic change or a binding event.
