  • Patent number: 8237923
    Abstract: A bio-sample image pickup device includes a light source module, a carrier, an image pickup unit, a first filter set, and a second filter set. The carrier carries the light source module and the bio-sample, and moves between a first position and a second position. The first filter set between the light source module and the image pickup unit for filtering the light emitted by the light source module, and the image pickup unit picks up the image of the bio-sample through the first filter set in the first position. The second filter set in the second position filters the light emitted by the light source module for allowing an operator to see the bio-sample in the second position through the second filter.

  • Publication number: 20120043212
    Abstract: A real-time fluorescent electrophoresis apparatus, comprising: an electrophoresis tank comprising a platform, an electrophoresis liquid, a positive electrode and a negative electrode, the platform carrying a gel with a biological sample, the gel comprising a plurality of charged molecules of the biological sample, and the gel, the platform, the positive electrode and the negative electrode being immersed in the electrophoresis liquid; and a lid covering the electrophoresis tank and comprising a filter disposed above the gel and at least one luminous element disposed on at least one side of the filter to irradiate the gel so that the biological sample in the gel is excited to fluoresce. Thereby, the experimenter is able to observe fluorescence phenomenon from the biological sample during electrophoresis so as to trace the electrophoresis process and determine whether the electrophoresis process is to be interrupted and avoid experimental errors.

  • Publication number: 20120017633
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling device, mainly comprises a carrying unit, a thermal insulation unit, and a temperature-lowering module. The thermal insulation unit is provided over a part of surface of the carrying unit for blocking heat transmission between the carrying unit and the outside. As the carrying unit is placed on the temperature-lowering module, a cooling chip in the temperature-lowering module is able to lower the temperature of the carrying unit and a biological sample. Furthermore, the thermal insulation unit is able to maintain the temperature of the carrying unit and biological sample, when the carrying unit is removed from the temperature-lowering module. Thereafter, a user can conveniently practice observation and experiment with respect to the biological sample, and avoid damaging the biological sample during experiment or transportation by the use of the cooling device.

  • Publication number: 20120009088
    Abstract: A high-performance light source apparatus for fluorescence photography of biomolecule sample gels is disclosed. The high-performance light source apparatus comprises a base frame, a supporting region located on the center of the top surface of the base frame for supporting a biomolecule sample gel, and at least one light-emitting module disposed on the top surface of the base frame around the supporting region for emitting an exciting light onto the biomolecule sample gel laterally. Each light-emitting module comprises an LED array having different colors of LEDs for different bio reagents. The exciting light is projected onto the biomolecule sample gel laterally, such that the size of the high-performance light source apparatus can be minimized, and the light spots interference in fluorescence photographing or observation can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20120001095
    Abstract: A light source apparatus for fluorescence photography of biomolecule sample gels is disclosed. The light source apparatus comprises a housing, a transparent plate disposed in a light transmission zone at the top of the housing, and at least one LED array disposed in the housing out of the range of the light transmission zone. The LED array irradiates obliquely to the light transmission zone for preventing the light spots from interfering in the observation. Each of LED array may comprises different colors of LEDs for different biomolecule samples.
