WIDE-SPECTRUM ANALYSIS SYSTEM

Abstract: a wide-spectrum analysis system. the system may comprise various components, including a stage, a detection module, and an optical relay structure. the stage may be configured to support a sample holder—a gel or blot, a pcr plate or microplate, sample chips, or a microfluidic device, among others—at an examination region. the detection module may be configured to detect light originating from one or more samples positioned in the sample holder. the detection module may be configured to detect light having wavelengths between about 200 nm and about 2000 nm, or subsets thereof. the optical relay structure may be configured to direct the output light from the examination region to the detection module. the system may further comprise an illumination module. embodiments of the analyzer may be suitable for use with one or more of the following interrogation formats, among others: chemiluminescence, fluorescence, colorimetry, and spectrometry.
