  • Fellgett's or the multiplex, advantage, which gives rise to improvements in signal-to- noise ratio (S/N) and reduction in measurement time for FT spectral acquisition, compared to the time required to obtain spectra with a grating instrument.
  • Fellgett's advantage originates in the fact that information for all wavelengths emitted from the source reaches the detector at the same time in FTOS measurements, whereas in a grating instrument each spectral element ( ⁇ cm -1 -, corresponding to the resolution) is detected separately. This results in a dramatic decrease in measurement time if information from a large spectral region is required. This is an important consideration if multiple components absorbing in different regions of the spectrum are to be detected.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un système d'immuno-analyse homogène qui permet de déterminer la présence d'un anticorps ou d'un antigène dans un échantillon et qui utilise un signal interférométrique provenant d'une source optique, un guide d'ondes recouvert d'un anticorps ou d'un antigène et comportant au moins une région immergée dans une solution contenant un échantillon, de sorte que l'antigène ou l'anticorps correspondant puisse être amené à former un complexe sur le guide d'ondes, un capteur destiné à mesurer le signal interférométrique après sa propagation à travers le guide d'ondes, ainsi qu'un dispositif de mesure permettant d'obtenir la transformée de Fourier du signal interférométrique en vue de déterminer le degré d'atténuation du signal interférométrique à une longueur d'onde correspondant à une caractéristique d'absorption du complexe antigène/anticorps ou d'une marque incorporée dans le complexe antigène/anticorps, ce qui permet de déterminer la quantité d'antigènes ou d'anticorps contenue dans l'échantillon.
