  • Publication number: 20110053286
    Abstract: An apparatus and method based on the apparatus is disclosed for detecting and monitoring chemical and/or bio-chemical reactions or interactions at the single molecule level, where detection and monitoring is improved by moving the viewing field of the detector in a controlled manner. The motion of the moving frame is accomplished either through software in the detector system or is accomplished by moving the reacting system. The motion is controlled and is either linear, circular or elliptical. The motion provides for improved site identification or mapping, improved event detection and monitoring, improved signal recognition and improved noise reduction.

  • Publication number: 20100323110
    Abstract: Support surfaces are disclosed that are designed to support molecules or molecular assemblies immobilized thereon so that the molecules or molecular assemblies can be observed in single molecule detections systems, where the support surfaces have reduced background and the fluorescent labels associated with the immobilized molecules or molecular assemblies have longer active lifetimes prior to permanent photo-bleaching or deactivation and have improve fluorescence properties and where the surfaces have more uniform fluorescent properties.

  • Publication number: 20100317005
    Abstract: Labeled nucleotide triphosphates are disclosed having a label bonded to the gamma phosphate of the nucleotide triphosphate. Methods for using the gamma phosphate labeled nucleotide are also disclosed where the gamma phosphate labeled nucleotide are used to attach the labeled gamma phosphate in a catalyzed (enzyme or man-made catalyst) reaction to a target biomolecule or to exchange a phosphate on a target biomolecule with a labeled gamme phosphate. Preferred target biomolecules are DNAs, RNAs, DNA/RNAs, PNA, polypeptide (e.g., proteins enzymes, protein, assemblages, etc.), sugars and polysaccharides or mixed biomolecules having two or more of DNAs, RNAs, DNA/RNAs, polypeptide, sugars and polysaccharides moieties.

  • Publication number: 20100235105
    Abstract: A method to be implemented on or in a computer is disclosed, where the method includes data collection, calibration, candidate selection, and analysis of data streams associated with each candidate to classify single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer events. Once classified, the classification can be related to the nature of the events, such as the identification of dNTP incorporation during primer extension to obtain a base read out of an unknown template.
