A method of analyzing a sample comprising directing a beam of light to a spot on the surface of a microarray treated with the sample using a digital micromirror device, and observing the SPR spectral shift due to a chemical binding event. The digital micromirror device can be, for example, that used in Digital Light Processing (DLP). Such a device can selectively place a pixel of light onto a microarray such that each spot can be observed at millisecond intervals and the whole microarray can be sequentially scanned over a relatively short period. The SPR spectral shift for each spot can be measured as a function of time, thus producing SPR detection of molecular binding in an array format. |
