AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional PCR technology has the following disadvantages: the instrument is expensive, bulky and difficult to carry, not suitable for on-site detection, easy to cause non-specific amplification, etc.

[0006] Existing fluorescence detectors often use xenon lamps, deuterium lamps, mercury lamps, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, etc. Although LEDs and laser diodes are small in size and easy to integrate, they have a single light-emitting band that is difficult to meet the excitation requirements of various fluorescent substances, and the current LED-based fluorescence detector has a fixed luminous power that cannot be adjusted, making it difficult to meet the excitation requirements of different concentrations of analytes.

The receiver of a fluorescence detector often uses a photomultiplier tube (Photomultiplier, PMT). The conventional PMT has the advantages of sensitive detection and fast response, but its large size is not suitable for multi-channel and portable detection. Although there are miniaturized PMTs, But the price is expensive, which greatly increases the cost of the instrument

In addition, most of the current multi-channel fluorescence detectors use the same reference to eliminate the noise of different channels, but the noise of different channels will be slightly different due to the different sensitivity of the detection instrument, detection position, signal processing circuit, etc. The same reference is not conducive to multiple channels.
