| 20100144053 | MULTIPLEX ASSAY READER SYSTEM - A system for reading optical codes includes a set of beads or particles, each of which has a surface functionalization selected for attaching a biomolecule to be studied, and a device for reading an optical code provided by rare earth-based light emitter associated with each of the beads or particles. The device includes an excitation source and a color CCD light detector. The excitation source excites the rare earth-based light emitters of each of the beads, thereby causing the emitters to emit light having a unique ratio of relative intensities, the unique ratio of the relative intensities forming the optical code of the bead or particle. The color CCD light detector detects the emitted light having the unique ratio of the relative intensities and a memory stores an image of the emitted light. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20090218805 | METHODS FOR FABRICATING OPTICALLY ENCODED PARTICLES AND METHODS FOR OPTICALLY ENCODING OBJECTS WITH SUCH PARTICLES - A method for labeling an object such as a biological sample, including printing at least two different light-emitting species onto a substrate which are capable of displaying a unique optical signature when excited; and externally attaching the object to the printed at least two different light-emitting species. Also, a method for conducting a large scale test, including printing a first label onto a first substrate, the first label comprising at least two different light-emitting species capable of displaying a first unique optical signature when excited; printing a second label onto the first substrate or a second substrate, the second label comprising at least two different light-emitting species capable of displaying a second unique optical signature when excited; externally attaching a first object, such as a first biological sample to the first label; externally attaching a second object, such as a second biological sample to the second label; processing the first and second objects in a combined manner; analyzing the processed first and second objects; and identifying the analyzed first and second objects using their respective first and second labels. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090104709 | FLUID TRANSFER DEVICES - A fluid transfer device includes a body and a sample holding reservoir formed in the body. The sample holding reservoir is capable of imbibing a fixed and very small quantity of fluid from a fluid source and dispensing the fixed quantity of fluid therefrom at a destination. The fluid transfer device may be manufactured from various materials including semiconductor materials such as silicon, polymer materials, ceramic material, and metal or metallic materials. The fluid transfer device may be used to puncture a closure covering the fluid source or the destination. | 04-23-2009 |
