ILLUMINATION IN BIOTECH INSTRUMENTS

摘要

A system may include at least one reaction region including a biological sample; a temperature control mechanism configured to control the temperature of the at least one reaction region; an electrodeless lamp configured to illuminate the at least one reaction region; and a detector configured to detect at least one signal from the at least one reaction region. A method of detecting at least one target in a biological sample may comprise controlling the temperature of a biological sample comprising at least one target; exciting at least one marker to produce an emission signal in relation to the target present in the biological sample, the exciting including illuminating the biological sample with light from an electrodeless lamp; and detecting the emission signal.
