Definitions

  • the present invention describes reaction vessels with integrated light harvesting optics that can be used for detection of surface bound fluorescent molecules.
  • bioanalysis solid-phase-based assays in which the substances to be detected are concentrated from the solution via immobilized receptors on the surface play a central role.
  • affinity-based reaction By means of the affinity-based reaction on the surface, biological substances can be detected very selectively, even from a mixture.
  • Typical receptors are antibodies and DNA molecules.
  • An example of particularly high relevance is antigen detection via high-affinity antibodies.
  • sandwich test is frequently used, with a capture antibody, the receptor, binding the antigen to be detected to the surface.
  • a second fluorescently labeled antibody also binds to the antigen and allows sensitive detection of the complexes.
  • the antigen concentration can be quantified by an intensity measurement of the bound fluorescence markers. Due to its high sensitivity, fluorescence detection is one of the most important detection techniques in biotechnology.
  • the signal-to-noise ratio is of central importance. This is especially true for fluorescence measurement, where a technological improvement in the ratio of fluorescence intensity and noise leads to low detection limits and / or material and time savings.
  • the signal-to-noise ratio is optimized by maximizing the fluorescence collection of surface-bound molecules while minimizing the light collection of all sources of oxygen.
  • the binding reaction is usually carried out at an interface between an aqueous solution and a transparent measuring substrate of glass or plastic material, which is coated with receptor molecules.
  • An important source of interference is the fluorescence signal of freely diffusing molecules in the sample solution, which can superimpose the fluorescence signal of the molecules bound to the surface, thus making it difficult to determine the concentration. This can be prevented by washing steps, but this is time consuming and expensive.
  • the surface-selective fluorescence detection is of decisive advantage.
  • the aim here is to limit the detection volume as far as possible to the surface and thus to exclude fluorescence from unbound molecules from the detection.
  • the emission of fluorescence requires the optical excitation with light of suitable wavelength.
  • the excitation light induces scattering and autofluorescence in the sample and substrate. Particularly problematic is that portion of the light which spectrally overlaps with the emission of the fluorescent dye to be detected and can not be blocked by wavelength filters. Since a significant portion of this light is generated in the measuring substrate, this contribution is suppressed by reducing the Detektionsvolumens in the substrate material. This can be achieved by spatial filtering of the fluorescence signal. This exploits the fact that fluorescence and scattered light arise spatially separated and thus can be separated from the optical system. Due to the different optical paths of fluorescence and scattering, the latter can be strongly suppressed by geometric means, eg with a pinhole.
  • the detection volume of the fluorescence measurement results in simple design goals. First, the fluorescence collection of the optical system at the interface should be as high as possible. Second, light collection should be as low as possible both within the aqueous sample and within the substrate.
  • ⁇ c aresine (nl / n 2).
  • a c is «61 °. Fluorescent molecules bound at the interface emit about 74% of the light into the glass. In this case, 34% of the total emission is above the critical angle ⁇ c .
  • the fluorescence emission above the critical angle (supercritical angle fluorescence) is of particular importance for binding assays. It takes place exclusively by molecules which are located directly in front of the interface, ie at a distance from the substrate much smaller than the emission wavelength. Consequently, a fluorescence collection that exclusively allows is limited to the region above the critical angle, a surface-selective detection. The contribution of unbound fluorescent dyes can thus be almost completely suppressed, which allows, for example, real-time measurements of binding reactions.
  • the conventional method of surface-selective fluorescence measurement is carried out via a so-called evanescent excitation of the interface.
  • the excitation light strikes the interface above the critical angle and is totally internally reflected in the measuring substrate.
  • a thin excitation layer is thus generated, with which surface-bound molecules can be selectively excited to fluoresce.
  • this method is technically complicated and makes miniaturization more difficult.
  • An optical waveguide made of glass or plastic, has a lateral surface, which is the
  • the use of a lateral surface of parabolic shape collimates the fluorescence into a parallel beam and makes further processing of the signal particularly easy.
  • the collimated fluorescence can be focused through a pinhole which serves as a spatial filter.
  • the diaphragm reduces the detection volume within the substrate and filters out the scattered light / autofluorescence induced there by the excitation light.
  • the collimator achieves a very high signal-to-noise ratio and even allows the detection of individual molecules. Even with exclusive fluorescence collection above the critical angle, the collection efficiency of the collimator is more than 30%, well above the levels of conventional detection systems. Fluorescence sensors based on fiber optics achieve collection efficiencies of 1%.
  • Refraction-based single lenses are up to a numerical aperture (N. A,) of about 0.6 and produce after all efficiencies by 5%.
  • N. A numerical aperture
  • conventional lenses or lens systems mainly collect fluorescence below the critical angle and thus do not allow surface-selective fluorescence collection.
  • reaction vessels In bioanalytics, small standardized reaction vessels are often used, such as test tubes or cuvettes for single measurements and microtiter plates for higher throughput measurements.
  • wells On microtiter plates, a large number of reaction vessels, so-called wells, are arranged in lattice-like fashion over an area of ⁇ 7 ⁇ 11 cm 2 , which allows standard 96, 384 or 1526 independent measurements. The wells are typically read out sequentially, which requires a fast shift of the plate between measurements.
  • the supercritical fluorescence collimator By incorporating the supercritical fluorescence collimator into microtiter plates, the signal yield can be significantly improved compared to conventional plates.
  • real-time measurements of high throughput binding reactions are made possible.
  • the collimator must be miniaturized to a few millimeters in diameter.
  • the excellent light collection property of the collimator is limited to a limited area around the optical axis. As the distance of the fluorescence emission from the optical axis decreases, the quality of the light condensing and the collection efficiency deteriorate. This is analogous to fluorescence microscopy, where high numerical aperture optics achieve high collection efficiency and sensitivity, but only within a relatively small area in the ocular space.
  • the excitation light must be focused on the surface about the optical axis of the collimator.
  • the size of the usable area and the accuracy with which the excitation light has to be centered on the optical axis depend on the size of the Collimator off. Miniaturization of the collimator reduces the usable area and thus increases the precision requirements. This increases the requirement and cost of the motorized shifting devices, adds more time and can also have a negative impact on the robustness and reproducibility of the measurements.
  • the present invention relates to methods of fluorescence collection above the critical angle in inexpensive liquid containers, such as test tubes and microtiter plates made of plastic. This is achieved by a novel collimator and the integration of the element into the bottom of the vessel. An improvement is in particular the integration of the focusing optics for the excitation light into the vessel bottom. With a convex surface arranged below the analyte-vessel bottom interface, excitation light near the optical axis of the collimator can be focused onto the interface. This leads to a significant increase in the allowed tolerances in the centering of the excitation light on the optical axis of the collimator.

  • the angular range of the fluorescence light collection can be limited downwards, preferably above the critical angle ⁇ c .
