摘要:
A plate handling system for a sampling device with a drawtube that includes a vertical actuation system that adjusts the vertical distance between the drawtube and a sample tray, a horizontal linkage system that positions a sample tray in a horizontal plane, and a drive system that drives the rotational motion of the horizontal linkage system. The horizontal linkage system includes a base arm that rotates about a base joint, and a sample arm that rotates about a sample arm joint on the base arm.
摘要:
A culture device or storage container holding a large number of incubators without vibration. The culture device or storage container is characterized by comprising holding shelves (12a, 12b ) for incubators arranged in an arc or circular shape and transfer means (15), provided inside the arc or circular arrangement, for loading and unloading an incubator into and from the holding shelves (12a, 12b ). Further, the culture device or storage container comprises the holding shelves (12a, 12b ) for incubators arranged on a table (13) in an arc or circular shape, an air communication opening (39) provided in the table (13) in such a manner that air inside the arc or circular shape flows from below to above, and a circulation passage (36) for returning air, sucked from above inside the storage container, to the communication opening (39) via the lower part of the storage container.
摘要:
A handling unit adapted for handling a microfluidic device is described. The handling unit comprises a first clamping element and a second clamping element, and an actuation mechanism adapted for driving at least one of the clamping elements. When the at least one of the clamping elements is driven to a first position, a microfluidic device may be placed between the clamping elements or taken out of the clamping elements, and when the at least one of the clamping elements is driven to a second position, the microfluidic device is gripped and fastened by the clamping elements.

A system (199) is described for automatic retrieval of microplates from a carousel (720). The system includes an effector arm (1200, 755) that retrieves a selected microplate from the carousel, a microplate retainer (760) that receives the selected microplate from the effector arm, and a controller (150) that directs the effector arm to the carousel for retrieval of the selected microplate and directs the effector arms to the microplate retainer so that it may receive the selected microplate. The carousel may revolve around a vertical axis. A system (735, 1800) also is described for washing depositing elements used to spot biological materials on a substrate. Graphical user interfaces (200, 300, 400, 500, 600) also are described for enabling a user to determine which microplates will be used to provide biological probe materials, and in what patterns those probe materials should be deposited on the substrate. The interfaces enable the user to place multiple fractions of biological materials on a same location on a substrate. Also described are graphical user interfaces that present a user with the options to select a first microplate having a plurality of wells, associate at least one probe material with one or more of the wells, and associate one or more locations on one or more substrates with the one or more wells.
