    摘要: An integrated fluid delivery and analysis system and components thereof for preparing and/or analyzing samples. The components may include a transport module, a fluidics module, and an analysis module, among others. The system comprises a detection device (1201) configured to detect light from a sample at an examination site, a sample delivery axis extending substantially vertically from the examination site (1604); and at least one material exchange station (1600) along the sample delivery axis above the examination site. Typically, there are: a fluidics head assembly including a dispensing device; a drive mechanism connected to the head assembly for moving the head assembly along a substantially vertical sample delivery axis; and at least two material exchange stations (1600,1602) located along the sample delivery axis, the head assembly being moveable to each material exchange station (1600,1602) to pick up or deposit materials used to conduct an assay.

    摘要: A multibeam photometric measuring device includes a light assembly (12) comprising a single modulated light source along with a filter assembly (19) for passing only a desired band of wavelengths and an optical system for suitably focusing light from the light source. A fiber rotor arrangement (24) is provided for sequentially connecting the collimated light source to each of the plurality of fibers (34) disposed in a distributor (32). Light passing through the wells of the sample plate (40) is captured by discrete photodetector cells (44) disposed on a one-to-one correspondence opposite the wells of the plate. A reference fiber links (52) light from the light source to a separate photodetector (45) to provide a reference light signal with which the sensed photodetector signals are compared. The sensed signals are suitably multiplexed and processed by circuitry which allows control over the accuracy with which the signals are processed on the basis of their instantaneous strengths as well as reference readings taken during system initialization. Enhancement of colour distribution resulting from chromogenic reactions is provided by automatic agitation by mechanism (54) of the reacting agents within the sample wells before a reading is taken at each of the sampling intervals of a kinetic measurement sequence.
