Abstract: Certain types of automated medical analysis equipment are used to analyze blood or other fluids. The equipment may thus use various diluents or reagents that allow the blood or other fluids to be run through the analysis equipment for analysis and data collection. Disclosed is a diluent preparation module that combines purified water and reagent concentrate for use by this equipment. Also disclosed is a diluent preparation unit that combines more than one diluent preparation modules for redundancy and back-up purposes. Also disclosed are systems for supplying the Diluent prepared by the diluent preparation module or diluent preparation unit to one or more analytic instruments.

Abstract: Service for a machine such as a laboratory instrument can be facilitated by capture of images showing the field of view of a user of the machine, and modification of those images to remove confidential information. Modified images can then be provided to service technicians so that the service technicians can have visual information that would allow them to more effectively communicate and interact with the machines' users.

Abstract: An ion selective electrode (“ISE”) assembly may be installed within a sample path of a biological testing system to measure ion concentration within sample fluid flowing through the sample path. A transducer membrane is placed within a housing and positioned to contact the sample path. A threaded portion is advanced into a socket of the housing and forces the membrane against a sealing portion of the sample path to prevent retention of sample fluid within the housing after testing. Sealing may be accomplished without adhesives or sealants and instead relies upon mechanical pressure of the threaded portion.

Abstract: Disclosed subject matter relates to method and system for securing data of objects in a laboratory environment. An image capturing device configured in a laboratory instrument may capture images of plurality of objects in the laboratory environment. A processor in the laboratory instrument may identify one or more objects from the images matching with predefined target objects. The processor may apply virtual masking object on or around the identified objects to prevent exposure of data associated with the identified objects and thus provides data privacy.

Abstract: An external calibration curve relies on external calibrators containing known concentrations of a target analyte that can deteriorate over time, leading to inaccurate results. Generating new calibration curves often requires preparing several calibrators to obtain calibration points needed for generating the calibration curves. Preparing the calibrators necessary for multi-point calibration curves requires operator preparation time and can introduce handling errors. The presently claimed and described technology provides a clinical laboratory automation system, including a fluid handling system, an analyzer component, and a mass spectrometer. The clinical laboratory automation system can provide automated calibration using one calibrator to prepare one or more calibrator dilutions used to generate a calibration curve for the quantitative measurement of a target analyte in a sample. The clinical laboratory automation analyzer may also provide an automated evaluation of pipettor dispensing volume and adjustment of the pipettor actuator to deliver an accurate dispensing volume.

Abstract: Disclosed are dispensers (100, 200, 300) and methods for dispensing and degassing a liquid (102). The dispensers and methods may include a heater (308) and a first tube (124, 502) constructed of a first material. The first tube may include a first end (124A) operable to be connected to a source (104) of the liquid and a second end (124B). The first tube may be connected to the heater via a conductive pathway thermally connecting the heater to the first tube. The first material may have a permeability such that a portion of the gas dissolved in the liquid passes through the first material to an atmosphere upon being degassed from a portion of the liquid within the first tube (124, 502).

Abstract: Systems and methods for characterizing immune response to infection using cellular analysis, such as a hematological cellular analyzer. In some instances, the immune response may be characterized as normal or abnormal based on one or more blood cell population parameters. In some instances, abnormal characterization may be used to identify patients with sepsis or at elevated risk of developing sepsis.

Abstract: An applicator assembly (100) for closing a sample container (500) with a plug (16) is proposed. The applicator assembly comprises a magazine (102) configured to store a string (10) comprising polymer-based material, an insertion device (104) configured to insert an end piece (12) of the string at least partly into an opening (502) of the sample container (500), and a drive system (106) configured to supply at least a part of the string (10) from the magazine (102) to the insertion device (104). The applicator assembly further comprises a separator (108) configured to separate the end piece (12) from the string, such that the end piece (12) forms a plug (16) closing the sample container (500).
