The present invention pertains to a device for separating plasma from a blood sample comprising a stacked structure which is provided with a first portion including a separating member having a first surface for applying or receiving the blood sample, wherein the separating member is adapted to permit the passage of plasma but to inhibit the passage of cells, and a second portion including an absorptive member for absorbing the plasma, which has a second surface in contact with the separating member for receiving the plasma, wherein the absorptive member is adapted to generate a capillary pressure so as to draw plasma from the separating member to the absorptive member. The first portion is fixed to the backing member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member. The absorptive member is fixed to the backing member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member. It further relates to a device wherein the first portion is fixed to the absorptive member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member. It further relates to a process for separating plasma from a blood sample comprising the following steps of: applying the blood sample to a plasma separating member; drawing said blood sample through said separating member to a plasma absorbing member backed by a backing member; non-destructively removing said absorptive member from said separating member and non-destructively removing said absorptive member from said backing member.
摘要:
Eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Einstellen einer Temperatur einer Flüssigkeit, die in einem Probengefäss (11, ..., 18) enthalten ist, sind angegeben, wobei eine Steuereinheit (1) und eine Temperiereinheit (2) vorgesehen sind, die auf die im Probengefäss (11, ..., 18) enthaltene Flüssigkeit wirkt. Des Weiteren ist die Steuereinheit (1) mit der Temperiereinheit (2) wirkverbunden. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die zu untersuchende Flüssigkeit Absorptionselemente enthält, um die Temperatureinstellung in der zu untersuchenden Flüssigkeit zu beschleunigen. Durch die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung wird eine rasche Temperatureinstellung in der zu untersuchenden Flüssigkeit erhalten. Damit kann der Durchsatz von Proben pro Zeiteinheit entsprechend gesteigert werden.

An acceleration sensitive indicator (1, 1', 1", 31, 31', 51, 61, 71, 81, 121, 121', 131) for indicating a centrifugation status of a biological sample, a sample container (100, 100') comprising the acceleration sensitive indicator, a centrifuge (200) for centrifuging sample containers (100, 100') and an analytical system (300) for analyzing centrifuged samples are disclosed. The indicator (1, 1', 1", 31, 31', 51, 61, 71, 81, 121, 121', 131) comprises at least one closed chamber (2, 2', 32, 32', 112) formed between two opposite surfaces. The chamber (2, 2', 32, 32', 112) comprises at least one indication zone (3, 3', 3", 33, 53, 63, 73, 93, 123, 124, 124', 133, 134), the at least one indication zone (3, 3', 3", 33, 53, 63, 73, 93, 123, 124, 124', 133, 134) comprising at least two fluid transfer zones (4, 4', 5, 5', 16, 17, 18) or at least one particle transfer zone (34, 54, 74, 75, 76, 77, 82, 122, 125, 125', 135). The at least one fluid transfer zone (4, 4', 5, 5', 16, 17, 18) comprises at least one solid carrier phase (14) and at least one fluid (15, 15') stabilized in the solid carrier phase (14), or at least one non-stabilized non-Newtonian fluid (13) having thixotropic and/or shear thinning properties. The at least one particle transfer zone (34, 54, 74, 75, 76, 77, 82, 122, 125, 125', 135) comprises at least one particle stabilizing fluid (35, 83) comprising stabilized dispersed particles (36, 84, 85, 86, 87). In particular, the at least one fluid (13, 15, 15') or particles (36, 84, 85, 86, 87) have a distribution with respect to the at least one indication zone (3, 3', 3", 33, 53, 63, 73, 93, 123, 124, 124', 133, 134), which is changeable only upon application of a g-force above a threshold value, the change of distribution indicating the centrifugation status.
