    摘要: There is provided a a method of reading machine-readable labels on sample receptacles, comprising: moving, between a first position and a second position along a first lane in a housing, a first sample rack configured to hold a first plurality of sample receptacles each having a machine-readable label; moving a camera to focus the camera at a point along the first lane; reading the machine-readable label of each sample receptacle of the first plurality of sample receptacles of the first sample rack as the first sample rack moves from the first position to the second position; moving, between a first position and a second position along a second first lane different than the first lane in the housing, a second sample rack configured to hold a second plurality of sample receptacles each having a machine-readable label; and moving the camera to focus the camera at a point along the second lane; and reading the machine-readable label of each sample receptacle of the second plurality of sample receptacles of the second sample rack as the second sample rack moves from the first position to the second position.

    摘要: An optical signal detection module includes an optical measurement device (OMD) configured to detect an optical emission signal from an emission signal source placed in a signal-detecting position of the OMD. The optical signal detection module also includes a cover moveable between a closed position covering the signal-detecting position and an open position not covering the signal-detecting position. The cover includes an optical reference material that emits a reference emission detectable by the OMD. The cover is configured so that, when the cover is in the closed position, the inner surface is in the signal-detecting position of the OMD so that the OMD detects the reference emission. The optical signal detection module can also include a drive assembly coupled to the cover and configured to move the cover between the open position and the closed position. In some embodiments, the OMD can include a fluorometer.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for automated isolation of selected analytes, to which magnetically-responsive solid supports are bound, from other components of a sample. An apparatus for performing an automated magnetic separation procedure includes a mechanism for effecting linear movement of a magnet between operative and non-operative positions with respect to a receptacle device. A receptacle holding station within which a receptacle device may be temporarily stored prior to moving the receptacle to the apparatus for performing magnetic separation includes magnets for applying a magnetic field to the receptacle device held therein, thereby drawing at least a proton of the magnetically-responsive solid supports out of suspension before the receptacle device is moved to the magnetic separation station. An automated receptacle transport mechanism moves the receptacle devices between the apparatus for performing magnetic separation and the receptacle holding station.
