Variable multiplexing switches for detector arrays, systems and methods of use thereof

Abstract:

Systems for differentially detecting light (e.g., in a flow stream) are described. Light detection systems according to certain embodiments include a plurality of photodetectors, an amplifier component and an electronic switch component having a plurality of switches in electrical communication with the plurality of photodetectors and the amplifier component. Systems and methods for differentially detecting light and optimizing the measurement of light emitted by a sample (e.g., in a flow stream) are also described. Kits having a photodetector array, an amplifier component and an electronic switch component are also provided.
