Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for rapid PCR testing. Example embodiments may include a PCR testing module that includes a housing having a PCR machine disposed therein; a sample input station on the housing, wherein the sample input station is configured to receive a sample collection device (SCD) comprising a biological specimen sample provided by the patient; an SCD processing mechanism configured to transfer a lysed microportion of the biological specimen sample into a PCR sample tube attached to the SCD; at least one mechanism configured to separate the PCR sample tube from the SCD and transfer the PCR sample tube to the PCR machine; and a controller configured to (i) use the PCR machine to conduct a PCR test on contents of the PCR sample tube, and (ii) generate results of the PCR test.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and collection devices are disclosed for rapid, local PCR testing. The system may include a PCR testing module, memory configured to store computer-executable instructions, and at least one computer processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer executable instructions to: (i) receive an order for a PCR diagnostic test; (ii) associate a sample collection device (SCD) received by the PCR testing module with the order for a PCR diagnostic test; (iii) instruct the PCR testing module to conduct the PCR diagnostic test on a biological specimen in the SCD received by the PCR testing module; and (iv) cause presentation of results of the PCR diagnostic test.

IPC: B01L3/00

Abstract: Systems, methods, and collection devices are disclosed for rapid, local PCR testing. The PCR testing system may be configured for use with a disposable sample collection device that includes a swab configured for collecting a biological sample from a patient; and a sample container configured to receive the swab and separate a bulk quantity of the biological sample from the swab for containment in a bulk collection chamber, which is located with the sample container, wherein the sample container is configured to meter a selected volume of the biological sample into a PCR sample tube, which contains a lyophilized master mix, releasably attachable to the sample container.
