- US 2010/0225915 describes a prism for inducing a Brewster angular transmission and a fluorescence detection device for increasing a signal-to-noise ratio thereof in which structure evanescent waves are generated when light is applied to fluorescent material, wel When applied to a sample surface, it is incident at an angle greater than a critical angle.
- the evanescent waves are used here as fluorescence excitation light to induce total internal reflection of light such that light passes through the prism at a Brewster angle.
- a disadvantage of such a device is that the light entry is not at a Brewster angle but normal to the prism surface resulting unwanted reflections of the excitation light on the light entry side result, and that at least between the prism and a support for the sample to be analyzed, an interface exists at which unwanted light scattering can take place. Furthermore, in order to connect the support for the sample to be analyzed with the integrated prism used an immersion medium to achieve the necessary total reflection at the surface of the support.
- the light source in this system comprises a laser diode and the system further comprises beam splitters, apertures and a stepper motor driven control mirror in which after filtering the fluorescent light, the punctiform field has been detected by an uncooled CCD camera.
- miniaturized devices employing direct detection of, in particular, biomolecules or pathogens in applications such as diagnostics, food testing or environmental monitoring
- the so-called "lab-on-a-chip” or “micro total analysis systems ( ⁇ TAS ) have been developed to perform the entire process from sample preparation, measurement, reaction, incubation, etc., to detection on the same chip
- ⁇ TAS micro total analysis systems
- the present invention now aims to provide a miniaturized fluorescence detection device and a method for detecting fluorescent light, in which as much excitation light is coupled into a fluorescent dye of a material to be excited or analyzed and at the same time as little excitation light reaches the detector, to achieve an effective, geometric separation of fluorescent light and excitation light and thus an increased measurement accuracy. Furthermore, the invention aims to minimize the unwanted reflection of the excitation light when entering and exiting the prism and a subsequent possible scattering of excitation light and thus after an effective excitation of the fluorescent material in a material to be analyzed or to be detected Material to measure the fluorescent light sufficiently sensitive and accurate with a spatially resolving detector.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the at least one prism and the carrier for the material to be excited or analyzed are formed as a monolithic microchip, wherein a base surface of the prism forming side of the microchip the carrier for the material to be excited or analyzed on which the material to be excited or analyzed in the total reflection of the excitation light is arranged and that both side surfaces of the prism are arranged in the Brewster angle to the excitation light.
- Attenuated total reflection (ATR) excitation is achieved.
- the material to be excited or analyzed on the side of the prism is illuminated at an angle which is greater than the critical angle of total reflection, for which reason no excitation light intensity emanates from the prism in the region of the material to be excited or analyzed. penetrates, but is completely reflected inside the prism.
- the substance to be stimulated or to be analyzed which is simultaneously an absorbing substance for the excitation light and is applied to the same base surface of the prism, is thus excited by an evanescent wave emerging in the near field and causes the emission of fluorescent light, which fluorescence light, subsequently in the Detection unit is evaluated. Furthermore, by locating both side faces of the prism at Brewster's angle to the excitation light, the excitation light is coupled into or out of the prism, substantially without producing any reflections.
- linearly polarized light which may for example come from a laser diode as a light source whose polarization plane is set parallel to the plane of incidence, ie p-polarized light in the Brewster angle on the side surfaces of the prism.
- a further increase in the efficiency of the coupling-in and coupling-out of the excitation light without undesired reflection of the excitation light when light enters and exits is hereby achieved according to the invention in that the microchip of the fluorescence detection device is formed from a non-absorbing material which is suitable for p polarized light is not reflective at the Brewster angle.
- Such a configuration thus maximizes the coupling and decoupling of the excitation light and at the same time minimizes or completely eliminates the scattered light, which is why, in particular, fluorescent light of the material to be excited or analyzed can be exactly detected without any scattered light.
- the fluorescence detection device is designed such that the base of the microchip representing the carrier for the material to be excited or analyzed is structured and that the structuring comprises one or more components or structures Includes microfluidic structures and channels, micro-optical structures, electrodes, valves or membranes, it is possible to provide a so-called lab-on-a-chip system in a simple manner, in which the number of interfaces between the material to be excited or to be analyzed on a minimum is reduced, whereby as much excitation light is coupled into the luminescent dye contained in the material to be excited or analyzed. Moreover, with such a device when used for fluid materials, the use of immersion liquids can be avoided.
- the material to be excited or analyzed as a grid of fluorescent dots on the carrier forming side or the base surface of the microchip is applied, it is possible with simultaneous effective excitation with a conventional spatially resolving detector, such as a CCD camera, sufficiently sensitive to measure the fluorescence of the material to be excited or analyzed.
