    摘要: A system and method for processing sample processing devices. The system can include a base plate adapted to rotate about a rotation axis. The system can further include a cover including a first projection, and a housing. A portion of the housing can be movable with respect to the base plate between an open position and a closed position, and can include a second projection. The first projection and the second projection can be adapted to be coupled together when the portion is in the open position and decoupled when the portion is in the closed position. The method can include coupling the cover to the portion of the housing, moving the portion of the housing from the open position to the closed position, and rotating the base plate about the rotation axis.

    摘要: Processing devices that include one or more process arrays with thermal transfer structures that can be used alone or in conjunction with gravity/rotation to transport fluids within a microfluidic system. The thermal transport function can be accomplished by changing the temperature of one or more chambers to create a vacuum to draw fluids in selected directions within the process array. The methods and apparatus of the present invention may provide the ability to move fluids in a direction that is against the direction of gravity or any centrifugal forces generated by rotating a processing device using the thermal transfer structures. In other words, fluids may be moved against the direction of gravity or towards the axis of rotation using the thermally-activated vacuum.

    摘要: Systems and methods for processing sample processing devices. The system can include a base plate adapted to rotate about a rotation axis. The base plate can include at least one first magnetic element. The system can further include an annular cover, and a sample processing device comprising at least one thermal process chamber. The annular cover can include an inner edge, an outer edge, and at least one second magnetic element. The method can include positioning the sample processing device between the base plate and the annular cover, such that the inner edge of the annular cover is positioned inwardly of the at least one thermal process chamber, and such that the at least one first magnetic element attracts the at least one second magnetic element to force the annular cover in a first direction along the z-axis, urging the sample processing device into contact with the base plate.

    摘要: A multi-chambered pump-valve device for performing chemical processes, detections or analyses is described herein. The device includes a plurality of chambers having variable volumes in fluid communication with one another via one or more passageways. Liquid may be directed through the device by merely changing the volumes of two or more chambers. Despite the simplicity of the mode for transferring liquids in the device, complex chemical processing sequences may be performed using the device. A plurality of devices may be incorporated into a larger apparatus so that a plurality of chemical processing operations may be performed substantially simultaneously in parallel.

    摘要: An adhesive backed measuring tape is disclosed that can provide customized, printed measurement scales on a single flexible backing that has a positionable or repositionable adhesive for contact with flat surfaces, single curved surfaces, or compound curved surfaces. In a preferred embodiment, the measuring tape has multiple scales printed thereon. The combination of linear sections and transverse axes defined by intervals can permit a variety of repeating scales on a single tape, minimizing waste of tape unrolled from a dispenser.
