GSD-501 RLS DETECTION & IMAGING INSTRUMENT

The GSD-501 is a fully automated, high precision

detection and imaging instrument designed for use with

ultra-sensitive Resonance Light Scattering (RLS) Technology.

The GSD-501 consists of white light source illumination,

a 16-bit CCD camera, filters for up to 8-color detection

and high speed imaging capabilities for a wide variety of

analytical bioassays and test

formats in a plug & play

system. All images and data

produced by the GSD-501

are in an open source file

format for the end-user to

manipulate freely.

ULTRA-SENSITIVE, REPRODUCIBLE, MULTI-ANALYTE DETECTION

16-Bit CCD Camera Captures Digital Images at 5 µm or 10 µm Resolution with a Dynamic

Range of 3 Logs - 4 Logs

Simple White Light Illumination Projected Through 2 x 8 Position Filter Wheels Enables

Detection of Multiplex Assays

Powerful Deconvolution and Normalization Algorithms Permit Seamless Resolution of

Multi-Color Images

Inter-System Reproducibility Enables Assay Standardization

THROUGHPUT & SPEED

Sample Loading Tray Accepts and Images up to 4 Standard 1 inch x 3 inch Slides in a

Standard Microtiter Plate Footprint

Imaging Time for a One-Color Array is Less Than 2 Minutes; For a Two-Color Array, Imaging

Time is Less Than 5 Minutes

Multiple GSD-501 Instruments can be Connected For High-Throughput Processing of Assays

SUPERIOR ACCURACY AND REPRODUCIBILITY

GSD-501 COMPARED TO FLUORESCENCE DETECTION FOR TWO-COLOR RECIPROCAL ASSAY

RLS was compared with direct fluorescent microarray detection in a

reciprocal two-color experiment, as shown in Figure 1. Spiked transcripts at

2x, 5x, and 10x relative to a 1 million copy control target were used to gauge

the differential output and sensitivity of the assay for both RLS and

fluorescence detection.

RLS Outperformed Fluorescence As Follows:

Both RLS channels effectively detected using 2x, 5x, and 10x with the

GSD-501

Cy5 detection could not be resolved at 1 million copies of control target

RLS two-color performance is based on approximately 7x more positives

than Cy5/Cy3

Reproducibility of RLS signals across the dynamic range of

the assay, as measured on 6 different GSD-501 instruments.

Representative images of RLS two-color detection in true color (A), Silver

after deconvolution (B), and Gold after deconvolution (C), shown in Figure 2.

The experiment maintained a 1 million copy control level for Gold detection

while titrating Silver detection to 2x, 5x, and 10x copies relative to Gold. In

RLS detection shown here, cDNA was labeled with either fluorescein or

biotin, and detected with anti-fluorescein 60 nm Silver or anti-biotin 80 nm

Gold.
