摘要:
A method and automated apparatus for rapid non-invasive detection of a microbial agent in a test sample is described herein. The apparatus may include one or more means for automated loading, automated transfer and/or automated unloading of a specimen container. The apparatus also includes a detection system for receiving a detection container, e.g., container or vial, containing a biological sample and culture media. The detection system may also include one or more heated sources, holding structures or racks, and/or a detection unit for monitoring and/or interrogating the specimen container to detect whether the container is positive for the presence of a microbial agent therein. In other embodiment, the automated instrument may include one or more, bar code readers, scanners, cameras, and/or weighing stations to aid in scanning, reading, imaging and weighing of specimen containers within the system.

The present invention is directed to a method and automated unloading means for unloading a container from an apparatus. The apparatus of the present invention may include a means for automated loading, a means for automated transfer and/or a means for automated unloading of a container (e.g., a specimen container). In one embodiment, the apparatus can be an automated detection apparatus for rapid non-invasive detection of a microbial agent in a test sample. The detection system also including a heated enclosure, a holding means or rack, and/or a detection unit for monitoring and/or interrogating the specimen container to detect whether the container is positive for the presence of a microbial agent. In other embodiment, the automated instrument may include one or more, bar code readers, scanners, cameras, and/or weighing stations to aid in scanning, reading, imaging and weighing of specimen containers within the system.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device (10) for automatically pipeting a liquid sample substantially comprising a) at least one means (16) for taking dispensing said liquid sample, b) at least one liquid sample receiving compartment for receiving the liquid sample or the part thereof taken by said taking dispensing means (16), c) at least one data acquisition means (14), d) at least one data processing means (12, 32) incorporated into the pipeting device or located outside thereof and used for processing data acquired by the data acquisition means, e) at least one means for communicating between the pipeting device and a data recovering device, wherein said communications means transfers data between the data acquisition means and the data processing means (12, 32), when it is located outside, and f) at least one power supply means, wherein the data acquisition means is embodied in the form of a means for identifying the liquid sample and/or container(s) for receiving the liquid sample or the part thereof.

The invention concerns a method for specifically detecting and identifying Streptococcus agalactiae, using a reaction medium comprising at least one esterase enzymatic substrate.
摘要:
L'invention porte sur un procédé de détection, par spectrométrie de masse, d'au moins un marqueur d'au moins un mécanisme de résistance à au moins un antimicrobien, résistance d'au moins un microorganisme compris dans un échantillon, caractérisé en ce que l'antimicrobien est une céphalosporine, et lesdits marqueurs de résistance sont des protéines ou des peptides. De façon préférentielle, lesdits protéines ou peptides sont des protéines dudit microorganisme.
