摘要:
The invention refers to a handling kit for analyzing a liquid sample, especially by nucleic acid amplification, comprising a disposable sample holding and processing device (1) dimensioned for use in an apparatus for analyzing a liquid sample, and a sample transfer tip (12) for transferring liquid into the disposable device (1), the disposable device (1) having a sample preparation chamber (10) which has an outlet (9) and an insertion opening (16) which is adapted to receive the sample transfer tip (12), the insertion opening and the sample transfer tip (12) being dimensioned in such a way that inserting the sample transfer tip (12) into an insertion position in the sample preparation chamber (10) causes a tight seal between an outer wall (40) of the sample transfer tip (12) and an inner wall (41) of the sample preparation chamber (10), the disposable device (1) having a vent (31) for venting the sample preparation chamber (10).
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for optimising an assignment of one or more medical samples to one or more analytical tests to be conducted on those medical samples. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining an initial assignment (100) of the one or more medical samples to the one or more analytical tests; determining a compliance status for the or each medical sample, the compliance status indicating: (i) whether a sample quality metric of the or each medical sample violates an analytical test specification (300) of the medical sample's assigned analytical test(s) in the initial assignment (100) and/or (ii) whether the or each medical sample is unprocessable; and performing a mitigation action if one or more compliance status indicate: (i) that the sample quality metric of a given medical sample violates the analytical test specification (300) and/or (ii) a given medical sample is unprocessable.

摘要:
A method for processing particles contained in a liquid biological sample is presented. The method uses a rotatable vessel for processing particles contained in a liquid biological sample. The rotatable vessel has a longitudinal axis about which the vessel is rotatable, an upper portion comprising a top opening for receiving the liquid comprising the particles, a lower portion for holding the liquid while the rotatable vessel is resting, the lower portion comprising a bottom, and an intermediate portion located between the upper portion and the lower portion, the intermediate portion comprising a lateral collection chamber for holding the liquid while the rotatable vessel is rotating. The method employs dedicated acceleration and deceleration profiles for sedimentation and re-suspension of the particles of interest.

A photoelectric module (1) comprises an electrically non-conducting support (2) and a photoelectric element including an array of spatially distributed photoelectric members applied to a surface of the support (2). High simplicity and efficiency is obtained by the double function of module (1) for light transmission or reflection, and spatially averaged light measurement.
