  • Patent number: 8288128
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring a real-time quantification of multiple target molecules during their binding on capture molecules of a micro-array. The method comprises the steps of: placing, in a chamber (14), a support (15) having fixed upon its surface a micro-array comprising at least 5 capture molecules (20) being immobilized in specifically localized areas (21) of said support; introducing said labeled target molecules solution (13) into the chamber; incubating said labeled target molecules under stable and controlled temperature conditions to allow the binding between said target and capture molecules; directing an excitation light (2) from a light source (1) on the surface of the micro-array; measuring the electromagnetic light emission (7) from the bound target molecules in response to said excitation light in presence of the solution containing the target molecules wherein the surface of emission for a localized area is comprised between about 0.

  • Patent number: 7875442
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method conducting real-time PCR. Unlabeled capture molecules of a specific design are immobilized on a solid support, and contacted with amplicons produced in one or more PCR cycles. Detection of amplicons may take place during or between the PCR cycles while the solid support is in fluidic contact with the PCR solution. In an alternate embodiment detection of the amplicons takes place when the solid support is not in fluidic contact with the PCR solution. The method is suitable for the simultaneous detection and quantification of closely homologous target molecules.

  • Publication number: 20080214407
    Abstract: A method quantifies a target compound selected from the group consisting of a polynucleotide or a protein present in a sample solution. The method includes putting into contact a target compound with a capture probe and detecting signals resulting from the binding between the target compound and its corresponding capture probe and resulting from the printed detection molecule in the different discrete regions. The method obtains a detection curve of the detected signals of the detection molecule and converts the signal obtained from the target compound bound to a specific capture probe into a concentration value and quantifies the target compound by converting the concentration value into a target amount using a target concentration curve.
