    Abstract: The present invention concerns the field of diagnostics. Specifically, it relates to a method for assessing a subject with suspected infection comprising the steps of determining the amount of a first biomarker in a sample of the subject, said first biomarker being MR-proADM, determining the amount of a second biomarker in a sample of the subject, wherein said second biomarker is selected from the group consisting of: sFlt-1, GDF15 and ESM1, comparing the amounts of the biomarkers to references for said biomarkers and/or calculating a score for assessing the subject with suspected infection based on the amounts of the biomarkers, and assessing said subject based on the comparison and/or the calculation. The invention also relates to the use of a first biomarker being MR-proADM and a second biomarker selected from the group consisting of: sFlt-1, GDF15 and ESM1, or a detection agent specifically binding to said first biomarker and a detection agent specifically binding to said second biomarker for assessing a subject with suspected infection. Moreover, the invention further relates to a computer-implemented method for assessing a subject with suspected infection and a device and a kit for assessing a subject with suspected infection.

    Abstract: A method to localize a carrier on a laboratory transport system is presented. The laboratory transport system comprises a carrier associated with an identity, a multi-lane transport module, and a control unit. The carrier comprises a signal transmitter configured to transmit a signal comprising information about the identity. The multi-lane transport module comprises a transport surface comprising a first and a second transport lane as well as a first signal receiver and a second signal receiver each configured to receive the transmitted signal. Based on received signal strengths, the control unit localizes the carrier on one of the transport lanes of the multi-lane transport module.

    Abstract: An in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) analyzer 200 comprising an optical detection unit 217 comprising a cuvette 214 for the optical measurement of a biological sample 2, 2′ is herein disclosed. The IVD analyzer 200 further comprises a piezo actuator 218 arranged on one side of the cuvette 214 configured to transmit ultrasonic waves 254, 254′ through the cuvette 214, a piezo receiver 218′ arranged on the opposite side of the cuvette 214 configured to receive ultrasonic waves 255, 255′, 255″ transmitted through the cuvette 214 and a controller 250 configured to operate according to either a lysis operating mode (L) or an air-detection operating mode (AD). According to the lysis operating mode (L) the piezo actuator 218 is configured to transmit ultrasonic waves 254′ through the cuvette 214 for disrupting cellular particles contained in the biological sample 2. According to the air-detection operating mode (AD) the piezo actuator 218 is configured to transmit ultrasonic waves 254 through the cuvette 214 and the controller 250 is configured to correlate changes in amplitude and/or shifts of phase of the ultrasonic waves 255, 255′, 255″ received by the piezo receiver 218′ relative to reference values with an eventual presence and quantity of air 3 in the cuvette 214, in order to determine if the optical measurement of the biological sample 2, 2′ is affected by the presence of air 3. A respective automated method of operating the in-vitro diagnostic analyzer 200 in order to determine if the optical measurement of the biological sample 2, 2′ is affected by the presence of air is herein also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of cross-flow filtering wastewater from a diagnostic apparatus or a laboratory analyser, wherein the wastewater comprises nanoparticles and/or microparticles, and the wastewater is streaming in a laminar flow across a surface of a filter membrane, the method comprising: (a) streaming the wastewater across the surface of the filter membrane with a flow rate, so that the flow of the wastewater is a laminar flow with a Reynolds number (Re) of smaller than 500; (b) streaming the wastewater in pulse cycles across the surface of the filter membrane, wherein each pulse cycle comprises one active phase in which the wastewater is under a duty pressure and one inactive phase in which the wastewater is under an inactive pressure, wherein the inactive pressure is no more than 10% of the duty pressure and the active phases have a duration of greater than 50% of the corresponding pulse cycles; and (c) separating the nanoparticles and/or microparticles from the wastewater when the wastewater passes through the filter membrane. Also described is a cross-flow filtration system configured for performing the method.
