New apparatus, useful for detecting biomolecules and polymers, comprises array of samples containing specific molecules with separate light sources and system for detecting which samples interact with molecule to be detected

摘要

An apparatus for the detection of biomolecules and polymers in samples comprising: (a) an array of test samples (T1, T2 ...) each of which contains a specific molecule; (b) an illuminating system consisting of an array of separate light sources (B1, B2 ...) arranged so that each sample is illuminated by only one light source; and (c) a detection system for detecting which test samples interact with the molecule to be detected, is new. An independent claim is included for detecting biomolecules and polymers using the apparatus.
