Assay plates reader systems for luminescence test measurements

摘要

Luminescence test measurements are conducted using an assay module having integrated electrodes with a reader apparatus adapted to receive assay modules, induce luminescence, preferably electrode induced luminescence, in the wells or assay regions of the assay modules and measure the induced luminescence.
The reader apparatus (1900) comprises a light detector (1907) for measuring luminescence with a portion (1910A) of said wells, and a plurality of electrical connectors (1924,1925) adapted to connect a source of electrical energy (1722) to said wells. Said electrical connectors (1924,1925) are configured to contact a bottom surface of the assay module or multi-well assay plate (1910).
