Advanced synchronous luminescence system for the detection of biological agents and infectious pathogens
First Claim
1. A method of testing a sample comprising the steps of:
- exposing the sample to an excitation radiation and thereby generating an emission radiation;
synchronously scanning the wavelength of the excitation radiation and the wavelength of the emission radiation to produce a spectrum; and
correlating the spectrum to an infectious agent in the sample.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting and identifying biological pathogens in a sample includes exposing the sample to an excitation radiation and thereby generating an emission radiation, synchronously scanning the wavelength of the excitation radiation and the wavelength of the emission radiation to produce a spectrum, and correlating the spectrum to a biological pathogen in the sample. In another aspect, a method and apparatus for imaging chemical and biological agents in a sample includes exposing the sample to an excitation radiation and thereby generating an emission radiation and synchronously imaging the wavelength of the excitation radiation and the wavelength of the emission radiation to produce an imaged spectrum.
