摘要:
An instrument for manipulating a vessel in a patient includes a cannula having a lumen for providing insufflation to create a working space in the tissue of a patient, and a first manipulator for manipulating a vessel located within the working space. The first manipulator is slidably movable within the cannula from a stowed position, where the first manipulator is substantially disposed within the cannula, to a forward position, where at least a portion of the first manipulator is disposed outside the cannula. The first manipulator is rotatable when in the forward position to an extended position.

A surgical end effector includes an anvil movable between a first position and a second position, the anvil having a concave anvil surface, and a convex mating surface. The anvil clamps a tissue structure between the anvil surface and the mating surface when in the second position, and wherein the mating surface has a different radius of curvature than the anvil surface.

A surgical device is provided including a shaft having a lumen and an opening disposed at a distal end, the shaft movable between a rear position and a forward position. An anvil is slidingly disposed in the opening between open and closed positions to capture tissue within the opening. The device also includes at least one electrode for applying RF energy to the tissue captured in the opening and an actuator operatively connected to the shaft for moving the shaft between the rear position and the forward position.

摘要:
A apparatus and method for loading a sample into a microfluidic flow cell allows for more precise loading, reduced cross-contamination, and more efficient use of samples to be analyzed. The system for loading a sample into a flow cell includes a flow cell defining a plurality of individually isolated channels through which fluid can flow. The flow cell also defines an inlet port and an outlet port for each of the channels. The system also includes a base that defines a chamber for receiving the flow cell, a cover pivotally attached to the base, and a passive vacuum source for pulling a volume through the flow cell. The method of loading a sample includes inserting the flow cell into the sample loading apparatus, placing a sample in at least one of the wells of the loading block, activating a vacuum source fluidly coupled to the outlet ports to pull the sample into the channel, and optionally aspirating the unused sample from the well.
