Embodiment approach

[0075] According to a first embodiment, the fluorescence reader comprises a light source 5 , a detector 6 and a lens arrangement 17 arranged to focus the emitted fluorescence onto the detector 6 . The lens device 17 is provided with a total internal reflection suppressing member 16 comprising a layer of a suitable material with a suitable refractive index placed in physical contact with the substrate surface 3 . The material of this layer is preferably a soft polymer, such as silicon, epoxy, polyurethane (polyurethane) or acrylate, which is applied as an optically wetting layer on the surface of the lens device 17, with no contact between the layer and the surface. has air. Thus, light rays traveling to the lens do not pass through any air layer, which would result in a loss of reflection at higher angles. An additional advantage of choosing a soft polymer material is its ability to form an optically wetting layer on surfaces that are not perfectly uniform or flat. Furthermo...

Abstract

The present invention relates to fluorescence reader (10) for an optical assay arrangement comprising a polymeric sample substrate (1) having a reaction site-surface and a substrate surface (3), the fluorescence reader comprising a light source (5) arranged to illuminate the reaction site-surface through the substrate surface, and a detector device (6) arranged to detect fluorescent light emittedfrom said reaction site-surface and transmitted through the substrate surface, the substrate surface provided with total-internal-reflection suppressing means (15) .

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved fluorescence / phosphorescence reader for a sample substrate in an optical analysis device. The invention also relates to the use of said fluorescence / phosphorescence reader, and sample substrates suitable for said fluorescence reader. Background technique [0002] Analytical and diagnostic assays are performed on liquid samples by optical analysis based on the detection of analytes in the sample, such as nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, antibodies, hormones or drugs. An important application of optical analysis is in the field of immunology, where the analyte is detected with the aid of specific antibodies, for example by labeling the analyte with a fluorophore, or by providing a fluorophore-labeled antibody prior to optical detection, which binds to the analyte, Thus forming an optically detectable complex. Detection of the fluorophore may be performed by a fluorescence reader capable of illuminating the...
