摘要:
A system for automatically processing a biological specimen is provided that includes an elevator comprising a plurality of shelves configured to receive a plurality of sample trays. The trays may comprise a plurality of sample containers containing a sample and having a plurality of respective caps engaged therewith. The trays may further include a plurality of centrifuge tube racks each containing a plurality of centrifuge tubes. The system may include a first transport mechanism, a second transport mechanism and a third transport mechanism. The system may include a chain-of-custody device configured to read identifiers on each of the containers. The system may also include a pipetting device configured to remove a portion from the sample containers and dispense the sample into the centrifuge tubes.
摘要:
A container for collecting a biological specimen is provided that includes a peripheral wall extending from a base. The container further includes a longitudinal tower disposed within the container. The tower forms a partition within the container to form at least a first chamber and a second chamber therein, wherein the first and second chambers are in fluid communication with one another. In addition, the container include an insert disposed within the container opposite the base, the insert comprising at least a first opening and a second opening. The second opening provides access to the second chamber and is further configured to engage a specimen collecting device to leave a portion of the specimen collecting device within the second chamber. The first opening provides access to the first chamber and is further configured to receive a syringe therein for accessing the biological specimen. Associated systems and methods are also provided.

摘要:
Described are devices, methods, and systems that are suitable for rapidly and simultaneously determining the concentration of suspended particles in a sample. The devices, methods, and systems allow for the rapid and simultaneous interrogation of a large number of sample wells in a single vessel, for example, samples contained in a two-dimensional array or micro-titer plate, without the need for moving reading heads or moving the sample vessel. The nephelometry system allows the user to rapidly and simultaneously measure the concentration of the particles in numerous samples, adjust the concentration of the particles in the sample with a sample handling system, and re-measure the concentration of the samples in order to achieve a desired concentration.
