  • Optical biosensor matrix
    Patent number: 5738825
    Abstract: A detection cell which is used as a component of an optical biosensor comprises a transparent base plate and a sample plate on the base plate. The sample plate has a matrix of wells extending through it to each to receive a sample. The base plate includes a waveguiding film and a diffraction grating means to in couple an incident light field into the waveguiding film beneath a well to generate a diffracted light field to enable detection of a change in the effective refractive index of the waveguiding film.
