Methods and optical systems for scanning of a target sample, including methods and systems using a low mass scan head and methods and systems for conducting a scanned optically transduced assay where the scanning includes at least one first relative angular motion and at least one second angular motion or at least one linear motion. The present invention also relates to methods and systems for performing sample assays, and for producing and measuring optical responses and signatures.

Configurations, systems, and methods for optical scanning with at least one first relative angular motion and at least one second angular motion or at least one linear motion

A sample handling system in a multi-channel capillary electrophoresis apparatus is disclosed. The sample handling system includes a work surface for supporting a plurality of samples located at a plurality of work surface coordinates and a sample loading assembly comprising a plurality of loading wells. At least one of the loading wells includes a capillary fixedly positioned therein. The system further includes a programmable sample transfer device for automatically transferring a sample from a work surface coordinate to a loading well. The invention further includes methods for using the sample handling system.
