Abstract:
1. A DNA analysis method comprising: introducing a sample of a solution comprising nucleic acid into a microchannel; causing the sample to move though the microchannel; defining a first window of a pixel array of an image sensor; defining a second window of the pixel array, wherein the center of the second window is spaced apart from the center of the first window; while the sample is moving through the microchannel, performing the steps of: (a) windowing the image sensor so that only image data from the first window is output to a first data buffer, wherein said image data comprises data from which the intensity of emissions from the sample can be determined; and (b) after performing step (a), windowing the image sensor so that only image data from the second window is output to a second data buffer, wherein said image data comprises data from which the intensity of emissions from the sample can be determined.
