Method and instrument for detecting biomolecular interactions
First Claim
1. An instrument system for detecting a biochemical interaction on a biosensor comprising an array of detection locations, said system comprising:
- a light source for generating collimated white light;
a beam splitter directing said collimated white light towards a surface of a sensor corresponding to said detector locations; and
a detection system including an imaging spectrometer receiving said reflected light and generating an image of said reflected light.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for detecting biomolecular interactions. The use of labels is not required and the methods may be performed in a high-throughput manner. An instrument system for detecting a biochemical interaction on a biosensor. The system includes an array of detection locations comprises a light source for generating collimated white light. A beam splitter directs the collimated white light towards a surface of a sensor corresponding to the detector locations. A detection system includes an imaging spectrometer receiving the reflected light and generating an image of the reflected light.
