摘要:
A device for separating at least part of the liquid component of a blood sample and methods thereof are disclosed. Generally, the device includes a container body for receiving the blood sample, a layer of retaining porous material, a layer of separating permeable material. The retaining porous material retains non-liquid components of the blood sample after the non-liquid components have been subjected to centrifugal force which forces them through the separating permeable material into the retaining porous material.
摘要:
The embodiments of the present invention are directed to an automatic apparatus (55), which is designed for performing nucleic acid analysis, optionally including sample preparation, with integrated disposable sample holding and processing devices (1), which devices (1) comprise a sample to be analyzed with the apparatus (55). The apparatus (55) comprises workstations (17, 40) for receiving, holding and processing such integrated disposable devices (1), a reagents station (56) for reagents (25), transfer means (36) for performing movements of an actuator, fluid actuation means for processing the sample (32) and reagents in said disposable devices (1), temperature control means (37) for heating or cooling, detection means for measuring a property of the processed samples (32), and control means for controlling the sample (32) preparation, the handling of the disposable devices (1) and the sample analysis performed by the apparatus (55).
摘要:
A device and method thereof for at least partially fractioning or separating fluid from higher density and/or solid particles contained in liquid samples are disclosed. The present invention provides a movable or drivable device having a flow path defined by inner and outer wall surfaces and arranged such that the flow velocity of the liquid sample along the outer wall surface is higher than the flow velocity along the opposite inner wall surface. The flow path provides elements to at least delay the flow of the liquid sample along the outer wall surface. The device is, e.g., suitable for the separation of blood, e.g., of plasma from at least red blood cells, and from red and white blood cells to achieve blood plasma with high purity for analytical reasons.
摘要:
A analytical device comprising a body comprising a fluidic unit comprising a first chamber having an outlet opening and a first channel exiting said outlet opening, wherein said first chamber further contains an insert comprising recesses between ribs touching the walls of said first chamber and a second channel, said insert being located in a first position wherein said insert is not engaged with said outlet opening, said insert being moveable from said first position to a second position within said first chamber, wherein said insert is engaged with said outlet opening such that said second channel extends said first channel into said first chamber and in the part pointing towards said outlet opening resembles the shape of said first chamber.
摘要:
The present invention includes a device comprising a lid and a vessel forming an interface that allows transfer of waste from a purification chamber to a waste chamber and method for purification of an analyte are disclosed wherein a supernatant is separated from a solid phase to which an analyte is bound by centrifugation via the lid of the device. The present invention also includes methods for use of the device.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a device for separating plasma from a blood sample comprising a stacked structure which is provided with a first portion including a separating member having a first surface for applying or receiving the blood sample, wherein the separating member is adapted to permit the passage of plasma but to inhibit the passage of cells, and a second portion including an absorptive member for absorbing the plasma, which has a second surface in contact with the separating member for receiving the plasma, wherein the absorptive member is adapted to generate a capillary pressure so as to draw plasma from the separating member to the absorptive member. The first portion is fixed to the backing member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member. The absorptive member is fixed to the backing member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member.
摘要:
A microfluidic system having a microchannel for the capillary transport of a liquid, in particular a body fluid for analytical purposes. The microchannel is provided with a surface coating comprising at least one hydrophilic substance selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, polyacrylate, dextran sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. The invention also concerns a coating method that is suitable for this.
