  • Digital imaging system for assays in well plates, gels and blots
    Patent number: 6563653
    Abstract: An electronic imaging system is disclosed, for assessing the intensity of colorimetric, fluorescent or luminescent signal in a matrix consisting of wells, microwells, hybridization dot blots on membranes, gels, or other specimens. The system includes a very sensitive area CCD detector, a fast, telecentric lens with epi-illumination, a reflective/transmissive illumination system, an illumination wavelength selection device, and a light-tight chamber. A computer and image analysis software are used to control the hardware, correct and calibrate the images, and detect and quantify targets within the images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2003
    Assignee: Imaging Research, Inc.
    Inventors: Peter Ramm, Gang Sun, Rolf Mueller, Timothy Ormsby, Kenneth R. Castle
